Resistor Reduced Voltage Starter 60 HZ

The Resistor Reduced Voltage Starter 60 HZ is a reduced-voltage three phase starter that uses one or many resistors in series to start a motor to obtain given torque measures or limited current values. Used in electrical engineering technology teaching when an AC stator-resistance starter is required, the starter unit is housed in a full-size totally enclosed portable modular unit. This permits the utilization of banana-type jumper leads between the single phase power supply and other components in the circuit. Specifications and/or diagrams are silk-screened on the back of a clear-plastic front panel for ease of identification. It is equipped with thermal protection facilities, a start-stop push-button station and two pilot lamps indicating respectively the supply, the run state of the motor driven and an adjustable time delay. Connections to the unit are made through 4 mm standard color-coded, five-way binding posts. The trainer is protected by a either a diode or thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. Requires a 120/208V 60Hz circuit.
