MX2 SEP Synchronous Controller
MX2 SEP Synchronous Controller
Benshaw’s MX2 SEP Synchronous Controller is a microprocessor-based, closed-loop current controller package for brush type or brushless synchronous electric motors. The MX2 SEP controller continually regulates the amount of field current being delivered to the motor, which protects the motor from overheating due to excess field current.
Benshaw’s MX2 SEP controller offers programmable current and power factor regulation modes. Our power factor regulation mode utilizes advanced MX2 or MX3 microprocessor-based controls for its metering and protection capabilities.
Synchronous motors function as an induction motor during start-up. Once the motor approaches full synchronous speed, Benshaw’s RediStart DC exciter induces a constant polarity to the rotor, causing the motor to lock into sync. Because the rotor’s field is constant, and separately excited, there is no slip required to produce torque, as with an induction motor, allowing the motor to run at synchronous speed.
Benshaw synchronous packages can be incorporated into solid state starters, full voltage starters, or supplied as a separate stand alone package. The SEP (Synchronous Exciter Package) can be supplied for brush type and brushless exciters.
