Description
The Firetrol FTA1250 Fire Pump Control utilizes the part-winding starting method, which is one of the most effective ways to reduce initial electrical surge in fire pump applications. This controller functions by energizing only a portion of the motor’s windings during the initial start sequence. This technique reduces the starting inrush current to approximately 60% of normal across-the-line levels, while still providing roughly 45% of the normal starting torque.
