RICH SET OF CONTROL AND MONITORING FUNCTIONS

Full suite of starting profiles on the Pro models:

    • Multiple Voltage ramps:
      time-linear, RMS-linear and S-Curve
    • Kick start
    • Pedestal
    • Current limit start
    • Constant current ramp up

Application pre-sets:
3 pump curves, generator and torque control

  • Restart delay: settable starts per hour
  • Built-in digital motor protection and self-diagnostics
  • All 3 phases monitored and controlled – no neutral conductor (N) required
  • Controller is line powered – no auxiliary supply needed
  • Terminals for 6-wire | inside-delta motor winding ? economical substitute for star-delta starters
  • Remote start/stop control (via IO or communication link)
  • Bypass contactor control outputs
