The Easy Start EA
The Easy Start EA offers reduced voltage
starting capability in a small, cool running
package. The Easy Start EA uses SCRs to
provide smooth, stepless acceleration for
NEMA three-phase induction motors.
Once the motor reaches full speed, an
ADVANTAGE bypass contactor is automatically
energized in parallel to the SCRs
to handle the motor’s continuous duty
requirements. Available in current ranges
from 45 to 135 amperes, the Easy Start EA
is the smallest solid-state reduced voltage
starter in the industry. Consult the factory
for availability and dimensions in replacement
motor control center units.
Transient Voltage Surge Suppression
MCC Units
A Transient Voltage Surge Suppression
(TVSS) system is a hybrid MOV filter
based suppression device that protects
sensitive electronic equipment from damaging
transients and electrical line noise.
The TVSS is installed in parallel to the
electrical circuits in a motor control center
and provides clean power to the motor
starting circuits. The TVSS will only react
and draw (surge) current when the transient
voltages or high frequency noise
enters the motor starting circuit and
exceeds the system’s nominal operating
voltage. Installed in a plug-in MCC unit,
the TVSS maximizes performance by
219
minimizing cable runs to the bus system
and saves ”outboard“ wall space and field
installation costs. A TVSS MCC unit is
available for all Cutler-Hammer and
Westinghouse vintage MCCs. Consult the
factory for further information.
