Firetrol FTA1350 (MARK IIXG) - Wye-Delta Closed Transition Starting

Image
Firetrol® FTA1350 Wye-Delta, Closed Transition Starting Fire Pump Controllers are used with delta-wound squirrel cage motors. FTA1350 controllers are of the closed circuit transition type in which the motor circuit remains closed during the transition from start to run. The controller monitors, displays and records fire pump system information.Actuating the controller via pressure, START push-button or deluge valve contact closes the start contactor connecting the motor to the line in the wye connection. The motor will draw approximately 33% of its normal inrush current and develop approximately 33% of its normal starting torque. After a time delay, the motor is automatically reconnected in delta, applying full voltage to the motor windings. During this transition, a resistor is connected to each phase, minimizing line disturbances and voltage drop during starting. These controllers are recommended especially for use with generator sets.
