Detailed Product Description

The HPMV is a third generation, Medium Voltage, digital soft starter, designed for
use with standard asynchronous and synchronous motors. This highly sophisticated
soft starter ensures smooth, step-less acceleration and deceleration, eliminating
current and mechanical shocks on motor and load. The HPMV may be supplied as
chassis type or a complete system including Line and/or Bypass Contactors. Addible
options are Load Break Switch, Fuses, Motor Protection Relay, etc.

Advantages at a Glance :

Innovative low voltage test mode - full testing with a small L.V motor using standard built in features

Advanced Electronic Potential Transformer utilizing Patent Pending "wireless" fiber-optic firing system

Each starter is tested for Partial Discharge (Korona) ensuring long term reliability

Power factor capacitors can be connected directly to the upstream contactor

Heavy duty design at 50 ambient temperature

Reduced inrush current and mechanical shock

Third generation microprocessor circuitry

Soft, stepless acceleration & deceleration

Control Inputs & Outputs:  

Control voltage: 110-120, 220-240VAC / 50-60Hz or 110 - 220VDC to be specified

Separate inputs for Start, Stop (Emergency) and Soft Stop

Two programmable External fault inputs - will stop the motor 2 sec. After the contact closes

Aux. Contacts - three C/O relays, 8A, 250V, 2000VA:
          Immediate Relay - changes position upon start signal, with adjustable On & Off delays.
          Returns to original position upon Voltage Outage, Fault, Stop signal and Soft stop signal  at the end of soft stopping process. It can also be configured as a "Shear-pin Alarm" contact.
          End of Acceleration Relay - operates upon completion of starting process, with adjustable
          On delay. Returns to original position upon Voltage outage, Fault, Stop and Soft Stop signals.
          Fault Relay - can be programmed as:
          Fault - changes position upon Fault, returns to original position upon Reset.
          Fault-Fail-Safe - changes position upon control voltage connection, returns upon fault.
