| Digital Soft-Start |
Baldor’s Digital Soft-Start control combines the simplicity
of a 6 SCR three phase voltage regulator with
the most adaptable soft starting techniques available. Soft Starting
reduces the wear on mechanical gears, chains, sprockets, belts and
gearboxes. It also reduces water hammer in pumping applications. The
reduced inrush current can prevent peak overload of the overall plant,
thus preventing peak demand penalties charged by the local utility
company.
Application software senses changing load conditions and adapts to
increase performance. Power factor optimization eliminates motor over-fluxing
and allows under-loaded or over-sized motors to operate more efficiently.
The Digital Soft-Start control features include microprocessor logic,
NEMA 1 Type enclosure, and 2 x 16 alphanumeric English language keypad. |
