Fcma Soft Starter

We are prominent manufacturer and supplier of FCMA Soft Starter in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India available with following details.


FCMA Soft Starter (Flux Compensating Magnetic Amplifier).

In case of motor driven pumps, while starting, the motor normally takes 6 or 7 times full load current when started Directly on Line (DOL). Such high values of current have following implications.

a) Weakening of insulation and affecting motor life adversely.
b) Sudden jerks on incoming line, resulting into large voltage dips, which affect the other
sensitive equipment operating on the same line.
c) High size of transformer / Generator, as a backup supply system.
d) Large jerks on the pumps and associated piping etc.
To eliminate these harmful effects, Soft Starters are used which reduce the starting current
considerably and allow the motor to accelerate gradually.
The Soft starters provide gradual increase in voltage up to rated voltage ensuring even
acceleration.
Benefits of Soft Starters
The provision of Soft Starters ensures following benefits.
a) Smooth starting by gradual acceleration of the drive system, thus preventing jerks and
extending life of system components.
b) Reduction in starting current preventing mechanical, electrical & thermal weakening of
electrical equipment such as motors, cables, transformers and switchgears.
