Product Details
Springer Controls manufactures a complete line of IEC enclosed AC motor starters suitable for applications up to 60HP or 80A. These assembled motor starters consist of a contactor, overload relay, and a NEMA 4X rated polycarbonate enclosure. To select the proper starter, it is essential to verify the full load amperage (FLA) at the input voltage supplied, ensuring to identify if the motor operates on 1-phase or 3-phase power. The starter must be rated for a current higher than the FLA of the motor, and the control power needed to operate the contactor must also be selected accordingly. The overload relay should be chosen based on a current range that accommodates the FLA determined earlier. Optional criteria to consider include the incoming power type—whether the line power also serves as control power (direct-online starter), or if separate control voltage is needed. For applications requiring activation from an external switch, remote start terminals can be added, which assume that the line voltage and control voltage are the same. Alternatively, a configuration with separate control voltage and remote start terminals can be specified, suitable for differing line and control voltages. The specific features of the starter include a 38A 3-phase separate control voltage start/stop with a 24-60V AC/DC coil and a 35-40A overload protection, all housed in a NEMA 4X polycarbonate enclosure.
