Type F, 480V 1HP, 1.6 - 2.5 Amp, Nema 4X

Type F Combination Motor Controllers are becoming increasingly popular because so many features are contained within one unit. A Type F unit basically uses two main components: Manual Motor Starter (MMS) and Contactor. With just two components it provides short circuit protection, overload protection, phase loss protection, local disconnecting means and control Voltage capable on/off functions. The motor overload trip is classified as Class 10 and cannot be modified. The trip class should be considered for hard starting and long starting loads. For these type loads a traditional Type C combination motor controller should be considered. Additionally, when sizing Type F units you should understand how the trip range can affect operation. Keep in mind that the magnetic trip of the MMS is 13 times the upper limit trip setting. Example: If your motor FLA is rated at say 16 Amps - using a MMS of 11 - 17 Amp trip has a short circuit raing of 17x3 or 221 Amps. A MMS with a trip of 14 - 22 Amp can still be set to appropriate thermal protection of 16 Amps but with the 14 - 22 Amp MMS the short circuit is higher, 286 Amps. So, in other words, in most cases, it is more advantageous to choose a MMS rating so that your Motor FLA is in the Lower Settings of the overload range.

Options for this unit from drop down menus:

• Run indicator light built into Start push button, LED
• Control Voltage change to 120V WITHOUT transformer. Customer receives unit with two terminal blocks provided to bring in outside 120V controls
• Control Voltage change to 120V WITH a built in transformer and transformer fusing. This will affect enclosure size
• Mushroom E-Stop button, twist to release type, pre-wired
• Mushroom E-Stop button, twist to release type, plus wiring for remote E-Stop button. Highly recommend customer picks lower control voltage option
• Oversized enclosure. Provides additional room to add additional componets and incoming and outgoing wiring. Usually included with transformer option
