Drive Starters

NORD Gear Corporation USA (Waunakee, WI) introduced the SK135E/SK175E soft start drives designed for use in a distributed control system. They can be mounted directly on the motor or near the motor. The starters regulate the three major functions of a motor starter and control them in order to protect equipment. Basic features include two digital inputs and two digital outputs, four DIP switches, up to four configurable potentiometers, temperature sensor input, electromechanical motor brake control, motor overload protection, flux monitoring, and automatic phase sequence detection (minimum current).
