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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Benshaw\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Synchronous motors function as an induction motor during start-up. Once the motor approaches full synchronous speed, Benshaw\u2019s RediStart DC exciter induces a constant polarity to the rotor, causing the motor to lock into sync. Because the rotor\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-22510\" src=\"https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/benshaw-mx2-sep-series-synchronous-starter.jpg\" alt=\"Benshaw SEP Series Synchronous Starter\" width=\"40%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/benshaw-mx2-sep-series-synchronous-starter.jpg 500w, https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/benshaw-mx2-sep-series-synchronous-starter-262x300.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Available Models<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Solid State Starter with SEP<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Benshaw synchronous solid state starter package consists of a RediStart series solid state starter connected to the stator to provide a smooth stepless acceleration, and the SEP section that is connected to the rotor, in conjunction with the discharge resistor to provide automatic synchronization.
