TECO Westinghouse has introduced the TMSF series of low voltage solid state soft starters.

Solid state starters give you ramped starting for induction motors be either reducing voltage or the torque control at start. Either method will create a soft start for motors and reduce inrush currents.

TECO offers solid state starters in standard or combination packages.

Combination packages include:

•  NEMA Rated Panel
• Torque Controlled Soft Starter Type MSF
• ATL Rated Bypass Contactor in All NEMA 4/ 12 Units
• NEMA 1 Includes Installed Fan & Filter Kits 
• Customer Terminals for Motor Connections 
• Control Power Transformer
• Motor Start/ Stop and Run Pilot Device (door mounted)
• NEMA 4/ 12 Units are Rated for Crusher Duty
• NEMA 4/ 12 Units includes Emergency Bypass Switch (For Across-the-Line) Start

Energy is a buzzword that isn't going away anytime soon.

'Energy savings' is a topic that involves lower costs, longer equipment life, less maintenance, reinforcing 'green' concepts and much more.

Variable frequency drives are an easy way to reduce energy costs in induction motor systems. We are seeing pumps and fans as a big market but most industrial applications can also take advantage of these savings.

One of our high performance AC drive lines, Fuji Electric, is another key reason why VFD's continue to grow more efficient and reliable. Why? They are constantly improving the power electronics the drives depend on. Fuji Electric is a main manufacturer and supplier of IGBT's (insulated gate bipolar transistor). New technologies with IGBT's have allowed VFD's to become more compact.

We are finding that many of our general purpose AC drives are now being offered with higher performance features. Our Fuji FRENIC-MEGA and our AC Tech SMVector are two that come to mind that offer customers more than just general purpose features... while staying in the same price range of those drives.

Marshall Wolf Automation has a complete offering of variable frequency drives. We have the top brands, great pricing and in-house technical support. Let us help you find out what adding or upgrading a variable speed drive can do for your application!

Ever wonder what ODP, TE and DIP mean in relation to motors? Okay, I'm sure you have been kept up nights wondering... you can now rest easy, here is what they mean!

ODP= Open Drip Proof Motors

As it states, this is an open type of motor that limited size openings to prevent contact with moving or hazardous parts. Internal parts of ODP motors are protected from drop, splash and falling objects. Best used in a relatively clean environment.

TE= Totally Enclosed Motors

You guessed it - these type of motors are... enclosed! These type of motors can be used in dusty, dirty and humid environments because the inside of the motor is protected.

There are further choices here:

• TENV - totally enclosed non-ventilated
• TEFC - totally enclosed fan-cooled 
• TEBC- totally enclosed blower-cooled

DIP= Dust Ignition Proof Motors for Hazardous Locations

You would use this type of motor in flammable, dusty environments.

This type of industrial electric motor is suitable for operation in a Class II hazardous environment.

A starter is usually an assembly, that includes a contactor plus an overload relay, used to start an electic motor.  A major difference between contactor/overloads are rated by their current in amps while starters are rated by their horsepower capacity and the current they use.  In essence, a manual motor starter is basically an ON-OFF switch with overload protection and operates from a toggle handle or push button that is operated by hand.

If you are using permanent magnet type industrial electric motors, read this!

During certain conditions, such as frequent starting or accidental jam ups, the magnets in these motors can become demagnetized. This is something that happens over time and results in a loss of speed and efficiency at rated torque.

This is so common that your motor manufacturer probably publishes a specification sheet indicating demagnetization current for their motors!

To eliminate this potential issue KB Electronics has designed and patented the fastest current limit circuit available! It is a high-speed, direct-fed™, anti demagnetization circuit. Your motor will not become demagnetized when using any of our KB Electronics Penta-Power products!
