Highlights
Impedance start type
Starting with stator reactors is suitable for electric pumps with cage rotor motors in which the voltage drop is produced by reactors placed in series with the stator in the starting phase.
The inrush current is limited to about half of that which would occur with starting at full voltage. At the end of the acceleration phase, the reactors are excluded (managed by a timer) and the motor returns to having the parameters relating to full voltage.
Advantages
It is a system typically adopted for machines with high inertia that do not require particularly high torque and current values at start-up.
The voltage applied to the pump is therefore minimal at start-up and gradually increases. This type of start-up is therefore particularly suitable for machines with resistant torque increasing with speed, such as fans or centrifugal pumps.
The elimination of the resistance at the end of starting takes place without interrupting the motor power supply, therefore without transient phenomena.
Extra
The entire REACTO series is offered as standard with an IP55 metal box, and a series of accessories and options are also available, including double door boxes and fiberglass enclosures.
