STARTER APPARATUS SYSTEM AND/OR METHOD FOR A SEPARABLE WINDING MOTOR

摘要

Starter apparatuses are provided for multiple winding motors. Such starters can function with a single/combined overload device/circuit rather than requiring multiple overloads relays and separate overload trip circuits for each motor winding. A microcontroller (102) can keep track of the applicable overload trip points and can control multiple discrete contactors (202 204) appropriately via a single/combined overload relay (104). For a specific implementation additional and/or alternative desirable functionality can also be afforded including universal voltage input true power characteristic sensing for status output/annunciation integrated damper control and substantially automated trip point selection and/or implementation.
