CONTROL STATIONS

Description

The control stations with exterior PVC coating and interior yellow urethane are used for manual starting of AC or DC motors, status indicators presented by the motors through pilot lights and selection of starting mode of field engines.

Features

  • External PVC coating of 0.040¨ nominal.
  • 0.002¨ nominal yellow urethane interior coating.
  • Yellow urethane protection on the threads.
  • With PVC sleeves to ensure sealing.
  • Made of copper-free aluminum (4/10 of 1% max) resistant to stress, and malleable iron.
  • 10 Amp., 600 Vac. maximum.

Applications.

  • Push buttons and selector switches are used in conjunction with contactors or magnetic starters for remote motor control.
  • They provide control and/or selection of circuits.
  • Pilot lights provide visual assurance that an electrical function is being performed at a remote or local location.
  • EFD/EFDB control stations limit device arcing within the enclosure, preventing ignition of flammable atmospheres during control operation of motors and other equipment.
  • It is used in classified areas where highly combustible vapors, gases or dusts are present.
    For installation in chemical and petrochemical plants, refineries and other process industries.
