Motor Starting Relays handle applications to 10 hp.
Press Release Summary:
Universal Motor Starting Relays (UMSRs) act as wire-for-wire replacements for potential relays that operate single-phase motor with voltage range of 110-502 Vac. Eliminating user adjustments at set-up, differential voltage sensing technology ensures exact starting voltage for each motor. Standard models UMSR30 and UMSR50 respectively feature 30 and 50 A switching capabilities, while enhanced models UMSRe-30 and UMSRe-50 intelligently discharge stray dc voltage from starting capacitor.

ICM Controls Announces Availability of New Universal Motor Starting Relay
Award-Winning Design Leads To Revolutionary Advance in Motor Starting Technology
ICM Controls, a leader in the manufacture and supply of electronic controls to the HVACR industry, announces its new Universal Motor Starting Relays (UMSR), a wire-for-wire replacement for all standard potential relays that operate a single-phase motor with a voltage range of 110-502 VAC. The new relay is ideal for applications such as A/C, commercial refrigeration, heat pumps or any single-phase motor application up to 10 HP.
Unique to the UMSR is its patented differential voltage sensing technology that ensures the exact starting voltage for each motor, every time; there are no user adjustments to make at set-up, making installation easier and more accurate. Additionally, a single UMSR unit can be used in place of hundreds of competitive models, translating into a dramatic cost-savings through inventory reduction.
The UMSR is available in two standard models: the UMSR30 and UMSR50, which feature 30A and 50A switching capabilities respectively. Two enhanced models are also being offered: the UMSRe-30 and UMSRe-50. The "E" Series models are designed with advanced circuitry that intelligently discharges stray D.C. voltage from the starting capacitor to prevent contactor welding under extreme circumstances. All versions feature a non-positional mounting configuration.
The technology behind the UMMR was recently recognized as a Bronze Winner at the 2007 Dealer Design Awards sponsored by Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration News. According to one judge, "The technology just makes too much sense...Because it is set up to so many different arrangements, it is great to carry on a service truck without having to stock different specific starters."
