Exact motor starting voltage ensured
Universal motor starting relays are a wire-for-wire replacement for all standard potential relays operating a single-phase motor with a voltage range of 110-502V AC.
ICM Controls has launched its Universal Motor Starting Relays (UMSR), a wire-for-wire replacement for all standard Potential Relays that operate a single-phase motor with a voltage range of 110-502V AC The Motor Starting Relay is for applications such as A/C, commercial refrigeration, heat pumps or any single-phase motor application up to 10HP, said ICM Controls

* Patented Differential Voltage Sensing technology ensures starting voltage Unique to ICM Control's UMSR is its patented Differential Voltage Sensing technology that ensures the exact starting voltage for each motor, every time; there are no user adjustments to make at set-up, making installation easier and more accurate.
Additionally, a single UMSR unit can be used in place of hundreds of competitive Potential Relay and Motor Starting Relay models, translating into a dramatic cost-savings through inventory reduction.
* Single UMSR unit can be used in place of hundreds of competitive Potential Relay and Motor Starting Relay models The UMSR is available in two standard models: the UMSR30 and UMSR50, which feature 30A and 50A switching capabilities respectively.
Two enhanced models are also being offered: the UMSRe-30 and UMSRe-50.
The "E" Series models are designed with advanced circuitry that intelligently discharges stray DC voltage from the starting capacitor to prevent contactor welding under extreme circumstances.
All versions feature a non-positional mounting configuration.
* Differential Voltage Sensing technology earns UMSR a Dealer Design Award The Differential Voltage Sensing technology behind the UMSR helped earn it a Bronze Medal at the 2007 Dealer Design Awards sponsored by Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration News.
According to one judge, "The technology just makes too much sense - because it is set up to so many different arrangements, it is great to carry on a service truck without having to stock different specific starters.".
