Enclosures are available in NEMA 12 or NEMA 3R configurations consisting of two distinct compartments. The medium voltage or power pole section is located in the main body of the enclosure, whereas the low voltage section containing the control logic is located behind the door as an isolated compartment. Each starter is supplied with a load break isolation switch, Class \u201cR\u201d motor fuses, inline vacuum contactor, solid state power poles and a vacuum bypass contactor, which is used to bypass the SCR power poles once the motor is up to full speed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Solid state reduced voltage starting<\/li>\n<li>Full voltage ATL emergency backup feature<\/li>\n<li>NEMA 12 enclosure<\/li>\n<li>UL 347, Class E-2 combination<\/li>\n<li>Load break disconnect switch<\/li>\n<li>Built-in self test<\/li>\n<li>Digital protection and metering<\/li>\n<li>UL zero sequence ground fault<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cost Benefits<\/h3>\n<p>Solid state starters typically cost less than competing reduced voltage motor starting technologies, but they also offer operating cost advantage by helping to lower energy costs and by reducing wear on motors, drive train components and driven machinery. Benshaw\u2019s solid state soft start technology provides precise, stepless control over motor starting voltages (torque), which results in smoother acceleration of the motor, reduced shock loading to the drive train and machinery and better control of motor inrush currents.<\/p>\n<h3>Electrical Benefits<\/h3>\n<p>The advantages of Benshaw\u2019s patented solid state motor control technology are particularly important when process conditions create varying load demands on a motor during startup. For example, with competing technologies a loaded motor will require more inrush current, over a longer period of time, to achieve the torque needed to begin moving a load. During that time, electrical circuits can trip and motor overheating may occur \u2026 placing significant demands on your power distribution system. In contrast, Benshaw\u2019s MX3 soft start technology ramps voltage to the motor in a softer, stepless manner, eliminating excessive inrush currents, expensive voltage surges, overheating and the damaging effects of a sudden, stressful start.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Additional electrical benefits include:<\/li>\n<li>Reduced supply line voltage drop<\/li>\n<li>Compliance with utility company starting restrictions<\/li>\n<li>Elimination of oversized generators<\/li>\n<li>Fewer branch circuit protection trips<\/li>\n<li>Improved power quality<\/li>\n<li>Reduced rotor and stator stress<\/li>\n<li>Extended motor life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Smooth Starting Ramps<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24554\" src=\"https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/soft-start-control-concept-001.jpg\" alt=\"Soft Start Motor Controls\" width=\"1800\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/soft-start-control-concept-001.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/soft-start-control-concept-001-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/soft-start-control-concept-001-1030x323.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/soft-start-control-concept-001-768x241.jpg 768w, https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/soft-start-control-concept-001-1536x481.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/soft-start-control-concept-001-1500x470.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/soft-start-control-concept-001-705x221.jpg 705w, https:\/\/benshaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/soft-start-control-concept-001-600x188.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Benshaw\u2019s MX3 control technology (included with the MVRXE) provides user adjustable motor ramp profiles that can be tailored to match the motor load of your specific application \u2026 allowing for a smooth ramp of the motor. Adjustable voltage control deceleration suitable for pumping applications is also included. MVRXE Series soft starters can be programmed using a door mounted LCD keypad or Modbus register mapping.<\/p>\n<h3>Advanced Motor Protection Features<\/h3>\n<p>Our MX3 control technology also provides advanced motor protection, with adjustable overload settings and available RTD monitoring \u2026 eliminating the need for a third party motor protection relay.
