Electric Motor Starters
Electric motor starters are devices designed to start, stop, reverse, and protect electric motors using overload protection and contactors. Overload protection prevents excessive current draw and potential motor damage, while contactors control current flow by opening and closing the circuit. Motor starters enable motors to safely accelerate to operating speed before handling full load, making them essential for motors producing 1 Hp or more. Salient offers multiple starter types, including Wye-Delta, Soft Start Solid State, OEM-mounted solutions, and Variable Frequency Drives for a range of applications.
Features & Benefits
- Overload Protection System – Prevents motors from drawing excessive current, reducing the risk of damage or burnout during operation.
- Contactor-Controlled Circuit – Enables precise control of electrical flow by opening and closing the circuit for reliable motor operation.
- Controlled Acceleration Capability – Allows motors to reach proper operating speed before full load is applied, improving safety and performance.
- Multiple Starter Configurations – Includes Wye-Delta, Soft Start Solid State, OEM-mounted, and Variable Frequency Drive options to meet varied system needs.
- High Power Handling Capacity – Supports motors from 150 to 800 horsepower and amp ranges from 269–1124 for demanding applications.
- Flexible Protection Options – Available in Main Lug Only, Standard Interrupt Main Breaker, and High Interrupt Main Breaker configurations.
- Solid-State Starting Technology – Provides transitionless starting using SCRs, reducing mechanical stress compared to electromechanical systems.
- Precision Motor Control with VFD – Enables dynamic control of frequency and voltage for accurate speed management and sensitive applications.
