Starter Options
Customers often look for methods to reduce the installed cost and space requirements associated
with electrical equipment. In addition, they may have specific electrical distribution requirements
and the starters must have the flexibility to address these needs.
Configured options
There are many starter options available for low- and medium-voltage starters.These include, but
are not limited to:
• Power factor correction capacitors (208 through 4,160 volts, 60 Hz)
• Digital meters
• Surge protection/lightning arrestors
• Ground fault protection
• Enhanced Electrical Protection Package
These options are directly selectable in the order configuration system.The next section will
explain several of them in greater detail.
Design specials
There are also many design-special starter options that can be offered by contacting CenTraVac
Field Sales Support. These include but are not limited to:
• Power factor correction capacitors (all 50 Hz, and 60 Hz from 4,800 to 6,600 volts)
• NEMA 12, NEMA 3R, or NEMA 4 enclosures, remote starters only
• Wattmeter
• Watt-hour meter, add for demand register and pulse initiator
• Watt transducer
• Current transducer
• Voltage transducer
• MP 3000 motor protection package
• Communications cards for meters/motor protection packages
• IQ Analyzer motor protection/metering package
• Emergency stop button
• Extra control relays
• Main bus sections including ground bus (typically for medium voltage)
• Load-break switch (medium voltage only), formerly referred to as an ADM (AMPGARD
Disconnect) switch
Multiple Starter Lineups (2,300–6,600 volts)
Side-by-side starters
Several design special options are available with remote-mounted medium-voltage starters.These
reduce the installed cost and space requirements associated with the electrical equipment or to
comply with special electrical distribution requirements.
Figure 43, p. 62 shows two across-the-line starters “bussed” together.This option has a single line
power feed for the starter “line-up.” Additional starters can be added to the lineup as long as each
starter has the top-mounted main bus section. Each starter has its own load wires that will run out
to the chillers.
