Product Details
Springer Controls manufactures a complete line of IEC enclosed AC motor starters up to 60HP or 80A. Assembled motor starters consist of a contactor, overload relay, and a NEMA 4X rated polycarbonate enclosure. To select the proper starter, refer to the motor or equipment nameplate to verify the full load amperage (FLA) at the input voltage you will supply, confirming whether it is 1-phase or 3-phase power. Choose a starter rated for current (amps) higher than the FLA. The control power used to close the contactor must also be selected, along with the overload by selecting a current range that contains the FLA of the motor. In choosing the starter, consider the incoming power; if the line power will be used as the control power, it is a "direct-online starter." If the control voltage is different from the line voltage, it is referred to as "separate control voltage." For activation from an external switch, terminals for control power input can be added, known as "remote start terminals." Additionally, if both different voltages and remote start terminals are involved, it is referred to as "separate control voltage + remote start terminals." Key features include a 12A 3-phase separate coil voltage start/stop, 100-250V AC/DC coil, and an overload rating of 3.1-4.2A.
