VMI offers competitive pricing on solid-state motor starters to replace existing X-Line or Wye-Delta starters.

Applications

• The Siemens Solid-State Starter is for 6 or 12 lead delta wound motors and has been specifically designed for hydraulic elevator use. The starter requires an area approximately 12" wide by 12" high with a 9" deep enclosure. If an enclosure is required please call VMI for pricing.

Benefits

• Reduced Maintenance Cost - no moving parts eliminates the need for service inspections.

• Reduced Power Consumption - a motor started in a wye-delta configuration can draw up 600% of the motor full load amps when starting. The Siemens Solid-State starter limits the starting current to 300% of the motor full load amps.

• Quieter Operation - eliminates the annoying banging of the contactor pulling in every time the motor starts.

• Motor Protection - by monitoring the building voltage and phasing of the power, the solid-state starter can protect the motor against phase reversal and brown out conditions.

Pricing is for solid-state starters only. For an additional charge VMI can provide the solid state starter mounted in an enclosure.
