Reliable Reduced-Current Motor Starting
Star-delta starters such as the Lovato M3P02570024 reduce the current drawn during motor starting by initially connecting the motor windings in star before transitioning to delta for normal operation. This approach can reduce electrical and mechanical stress during starting compared with direct-on-line operation.
The M3P02570024 combines the switching components and operator controls required for star-delta starting in an insulated enclosure. Its 35 A maximum operating current, integrated push buttons and frontal IP65 protection make it a practical solution for industrial machinery and motor-driven equipment.
