The XTPE provides advanced electronic overload protection integrated into a traditional manual motor protector form factor.
Manual Motor Control offers ideal space-saving and cost-saving solutions as Manual Starters, Manual Motor Disconnects, Group Motor Installations, and Self-Protected Manual Combination Starters. Manual motor starters and protectors provide protection against low level faults that fuses or circuit breakers on the branch circuit would ignore. In group motor installations more than one motor circuit is protected by a single branch circuit protective device (BCPD).
The XT Electronic Manual Motor Protector provides the same functionality as the XT thermal manual motor protector, but with an added level of flexibility and selectability. The XTPE incorporates electronic control technology to enable more options and larger dial setting ranges. The trip units are interchangeable, allowing users to exchange as needed using the same base. The reduced number of part numbers decreases bill of material complexity while reducing inventory demands.
- “Fingerproof” terminals with screwdriver guide holes are located in the vertical plane for safe, convenient front access and ease of wiring.
- Undervoltage release module trips manual starter to “off” during loss of power to ensure starter is turned on manually, for added safety.
- Group motor installations eliminate the need for individual branch short circuit protective devices for each motor circuit, reducing panel space, installation & wiring time, and costs.
- Self protected combination starters provide continuous service after a fault and eliminate the need for a single branch circuit protective device (BCPD), reducing panel space and additional cost.
- Manual Motor Controllers feature a rotary ON/OFF manual disconnect, Class 10 adjustable bimetallic overload relay and fixed magnetic short circuit trip capability in one compact unit.
