MATelec FPC-15905-S22 Mild Steel IP56 3PH 22kW Soft Starter Pump Controller

Taking things up to 22kW, the FPC-15905-S22 provides controlled starting for larger three phase pump motors. This soft starter from MATelec reduces electrical inrush current and eliminates the mechanical shock that can damage pumps and pipework.

User adjustable soft start and soft stop parameters let you tune the acceleration and deceleration ramps to match your system requirements. You can set a long ramp for pressure boosting applications to avoid water hammer, or a shorter ramp for transfer applications where speed matters.

The IP56 powder coated mild steel enclosure with an inner door provides better weather protection than the IP54 single door used on DOL starters. Enclosure size increases with the kW rating, so dimensions vary from the base 300x300x150mm DOL footprint.

Automatic control uses two 24Vac digital inputs that take signals from cut-off and working level floats or pressure switches. A selector switch offers auto, off and manual modes, and thermal overload protection guards against overcurrent. Soft starters are available only on three phase panels. Modifications include 316 stainless steel enclosure, indicator lights, remote start/stop and emergency stop isolation.
