Whitepapers

This whitepaper explores strategies to prevent water hammer damage in pumping systems, helping to avoid costly issues like burst pipes and damaged valves, gauges, and pumps, ultimately extending system lifespan.

This paper examines starting solutions for electric motors in generators, detailing options like soft start and their pros and cons to aid in optimal generator sizing and managing temporary overloads.

Decades of experience in applying soft start to motor control show its real benefits across various industries. This whitepaper offers easy-to-read infographics for quick reference on application advantages.

The first in series, Reduced Voltage Starting, introduces the basics of reduced voltage starting for three-phase AC induction motors, basing upon on motor starting theory.

The second of the series, An Introduction to Start Torque, covers the components of start torque and their effects on motor performance, continuing the series on motor starting theory.

The third white paper in the series, Motor Starting Solutions, provides an in-depth look at various motor starting methods, including star-delta, direct-on-line, and solid-state soft start options.
