Across-the-Line
 

 
Connects motor directly to power source.
Full voltgage applied to motor when controller is actuated.

 
 
 
Primary Resistor
 

 
When controller is actuated, a resistance is connected to each phase.

Resistors are by-passed after a time delay and motor then runs at full voltage.
 
Autotransformer
 

 
Starters supply reduced voltage starting at motor terminals through use of tapped, 3-phase autotransformer.

A timing relay causes transfer of motor from reduced voltage start to line voltage operation without disconnecting motor from power source.
 
 
Wye Delta Closed
 

 
Same sequence as Open Transistion.
 
Connected to resistors in each phase during transistion from wye to delta.
 
Part Winding
 

 
Motor starts on one winding.

After a time delay second winding is connected in parallel to the line.
 
Wye Delta Open
 

 
On controller activation, motor windings wye-connected for starting.
 
After a time delay, automatically converts to delta connection for running, applying full voltage to motor windings.
 
Most often used with transfer swithc/emergency generator applications.
 
Solid State Start
 

 
Reduces inrush current to motor with adjustable ramp time.

Stop sequence reduces possibility of surges occurring in the system.
 
Variable Speed Pressure Limiting
 

 
Micro-processor based it displays module and pressure adjustment that is accessible without opening main door.

Has built in variable frequency drive.
