New Starters Products

Motor Control Modules have bus-compatible architecture.

Comprised of base and power modules available in direct online and reversing versions with and without trip indication, BL20 xStart motor starters allow 3-phase motor control to be connected to same rack as standard I/O. They mount directly next to other BL20 modules and are controlled by same gateway, allowing motors to be controlled via DeviceNet(TM), PROFIBUSÃ-®-DP, or CANopen fieldbus...

Soft Start Motor Controls target low horsepower motors.

Measuring 45 mm wide, Altistart-® 01 soft starts are available in 3 versions for single- and 3-phase asynchronous motors with horsepower ranging from -¼-75 HP at 110-575 V. Controls can be installed on DIN rail or panel mounted and feature removable control wiring terminal, quick adjust for starting torque and starting/stopping times, kickstart selectable boost for hard-to-start loads, and 2...

Smart Motor Starter can be modified at any time.

Combining power and control functions with built-in intelligence and modular structure, TelemecaniqueÃ-® TeSysÃ-® U-Line Motor Starter operates up to 20 hp at 480 Vac with breaking capacity of 50 kA/400 V. Communication and interface modules for various network protocols enable starter to be integrated into any automation system. Broad setting ranges and ac/dc multi-range voltages enable...

Motor Controller offers diagnostic control capabilities.

Allen-Bradley SMC Flex features integrated I/O that helps control processes and monitor motor systems from networked soft-starter. Dual inputs help improve process monitoring and promote access to diagnostic information, while 4 outputs allow users to extend control capabilities to other processes. Controller also incorporates internal bypass contactor that helps reduce heat as well as...

Motor Controller Kits meet needs of OEMs.

Using current loop gate driver circuit, Medium-Voltage SMC Flex Soft Starters limit starting torque and minimize mechanical damage to belts, gears, and other machine components. Units help meet utility restrictions by reducing high inrush current when starting medium voltage motors. SMC Flex family is suited for pump, fan, compressor, conveyor, and blower applications in industries such as...

Soft Starters feature polarity balancing.

Sirius 3RW40 controls 2 phases in power range up to 300 hp/460 V, while Sirius 3RW44 features closed-loop torque control, allowing it to start drives up to power rating of 950 hp/480 V in standard configuration. Both have motor protection with adjustable overload tripping time, and bypass contact system, which minimizes power loss. Polarity Balancing ensures smooth start-up by generating uniform...

Self-Hold Motor Protector has built-in heater.

Designed to provide overload and overheat protection, EP42P combines non self-resetting function with built-in ceramic PTC heater positioned directly next to bi-metal sensing switch to provide operational safety in appliances with moving parts. Measuring 17.0 x 7.3 x 3.9 mm, miniature solution features PBT resin-encased enclosure and non-current-carrying bimetal element. It meets UL requirements...

Manual Motor Starters come in models rated to 100 A.

Equipped with IP20 finger safe terminals and trip test, GMS Series includes 3 frame sizes rated for up to 32, 63, and 100 A. All units are available with rotary switch, except 32 A version, which is available with rotary and rocker switch. Slide out handle provides method to lock manual motor starter in OFF position, and dial cover secures current trip setting. Able to be DIN rail or surface...

Battery-Free Starter supplies generator start power.

Battery-Free GenSTART System increases starting reliability for up to 8 MW of multiple standby engine generators. Individual GenSTART Module can supply 1725 cold-cranking amps to generator set starter motors. Both products supply engine generators with assured starting power at start-up. They meet safety and performance standards including listings from UL, FCC, and CSA. Each Module converts...

Smart Motor Controller contributes to equipment protection.

Medium-voltage SMC-Flex(TM) soft starter limits motor starting torque and reduces high inrush currents when starting MV motors, helping to prevent process shutdowns that can occur during brownout. Rated at 200/400/600 A from 2,400-6,900 V, unit provides closed-loop current regulation and tachometer feedback. Protection and diagnostic features include electronic motor overload protection, stall...

Basalt America Announces Stronger, Lighter, and Corrosion-Free FRP's (Fiber Reinforced Polymers)

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), represents a truly groundbreaking advancement in structural reinforcement. Lightweight, strong, and green, they are changing the way the construction industry thinks about rebar. Unlike steel, FRPs don't rust and are far stronger than standard rebar. To learn why Fiber Reinforced Polymers are poised to change the way the world builds, see our video.
