Do you manufacture car washing systems? Maybe you own a car wash?

Options for for starting your blower motors include variable frequency drives and soft starters.

Marshall Wolf Automation can provide you with compact and cost effective motor soft starters for minimizing mechanical stress on a motor during starting.

We even offer soft starters that mount directly onto DIN rail which avoids the need for a bulky external heatsink.

Marshall Wolf Automation is your industrial automation distributor for a complete offering of soft starters and variable frequency drives.

Engineers are always available to help you choose the best option for your application.

Today’s global economy is in many ways driven by AC induction motors. Industrial facilities depend on these motors to drive the machinery that increases their efficiency and production output.

Did you know that many industrial operations unknowingly subject their machinery to severe stress during motor start-up?

When motor operation is activated, high inrush currents flow into the motor’s windings, producing very high levels of torque.

This torque at the motor’s shaft can result in a substantial shock to the driven equipment.

The result may be belts slipping or breaking, couplings disengaging, and gears or other components failing completely.

Based on this information it is often a cost-effective decision to protect your machinery investment with a TECO Westinghouse TEAMmaster™ medium voltage soft starter.

Available only from TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company, the TEAMmaster™ protects your machinery by controlling motor torque.

The TEAMmaster™ also reduces current demand and creates a more stable line voltage, which benefits facilities that have weak electrical systems.

The TEAMMaster™ Medium Voltage Starter is a microprocessor controlled solid state reduced voltage starter for three phase induction motors. The starter provides a closed-loop current ramp for smooth stepless motor acceleration, supplied in a free standing enclosure.

When you have motors that are started across the line a large amount of energy is used when accelerating quickly to full speed.

Variable frequency drives (VFD's) are popular for applications such as fans, mixers, conveyors and compressors. Variable speed drives can be a key part of any energy management solution and will reduce stress on motors and equipment.

Soft starters are ideal for simple RUN/STOP applications and are also popular for pumps, mixers and fan applications that require a limited amount of starts and stops.

An advantage high performance AC drives have over soft starters is that it allows you control the speed.

Wouldn't it be nice to see how long you could recoup the cost of a new energy efficient industrial electric motor?

Here you go! WEG has an easy to use payback tool that will help you calculate electricity consumption, running cost and the reduction in CO2 emissions of the industrial electric motor you selected.

It is possible to simulate three conditions using the WEG payback tool:

• New Project - the system will display the payback time considering the acquisition price difference.
• Replacement of a running motor - the system will display the time to payback 100% of the new motor. Rewound motors may experience a drop of up to 2 points in efficiency.
• Replacement of a failed motor - the system will display the time to payback the new motor against the rewinding cost. Rewound motors may experience a drop of up to 2 points in efficiency.
