STEP-BY-STEP MOTOR CONTROL SELECTION GUIDE
Variable speed, constant torque, fixed speed and reduced current inrush are some terms with which you
may or may not be familiar.
These fall into the general term "motor control.
" An explanation of these
terms, and a step-by-step motor guide is explained to help you to determine your needs.
1.
Fixed Speed Control - Starter.
If an application requires the motor to operate at a constant
speed with little or no stopping and starting at full voltage, you will most likely require an
electromechanical motor starter.
Starters offer full-torque at start-up, but no speed control.
With each new generation of starter the frame size becomes smaller but the work load remains
the same.
This allows you to save panel space, thus reducing the size of the enclosure and saving
money.
2.
Reduced Current In-Rush - Soft-Start/Stop.
If your application requires intermittent starting
and stopping of the motor, you may need a solid-state reduced current inr
