Eddy Current Starters

We have applied Eddy-Current and Closed-Circuit technology with step-less starting to all our Eddy Current Starters. Our starters are built as per NEMA and ANSI Standards meeting the provisions of the National Electric Safety Code.

Eddy Current Starters are extensively being used to replace existing manually operated wound rotor starters and liquid rotor starters. Our Eddy Current Starters have a unique inducer system for starting Wound-Rotor Induction Motors, offering considerable improvements in maintenance and reliability.

Eddy-Current Starters require only one shorting contactor in the rotor circuit, thus reducing the system complexity. The inducer acts as the current-limiting rotor impedance during run-up, and is connected across the rotor winding. The rotor winding is bypassed by a shorting contactor, which is connected across the inducer. The inducer is operated by a timer to short out the rotor when full speed is reached. This provides simplicity in the system.

Eddy Current Starters provide smooth acceleration to full speed and thus reduce electrical and mechanical stresses in the motor and drive.

Inducers incorporated in our Eddy Current Starters have no moving parts and will give many years of service without any maintenance or adjustment.

Eddy Current Starters are designed to start a wide range of motors. With the aid of selective tappings provided in the inducer, the user is able to select the exact starting torque and stator current required.
