One standard has been highlighted below:<\/p><div><em>NEMA Standard<\/em><\/div><ul><li><em>&#8220;\u2026 the life of the motor is affected by the number of starts.&#8221;<\/em><\/li><\/ul><div>Depending on the type of motor starter, motors can draw anywhere from 500 to 700% of the full-load amperage during acceleration. The motor windings experience a temperature rise due to this high in-rush amperage during start up. And keep in mind that the motor windings are subjected to this temperature rise during each motor start; therefore, an excessive number of motor starts can result in premature failure of the motor windings.<br \/><br \/>To minimize these risks,\u00a0NEMA recommends limiting motor starts per hour based on design. To assist our compressor operators, <a href=\"\/zh\/products\/compressor-control-systems\/\">FS-Elliott control systems<\/a> provide protection from frequent starting of the motor. Our software allocates two starts within a 60-minute timeframe for the user to perform. If the compressor would need to be started for a third time within the 60-minute time frame, then a bypass would be required to override the safety feature. But doing so should be avoided as much as possible since these additional starts can wear on the machine over time.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0904a1a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0904a1a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d387cff e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d387cff\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a29328d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a29328d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What to Know About Starters and Motor Compatibility<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<hr class=\"e-cc6c633-ebc9dfe e-divider-base\" data-interaction-id=\"cc6c633\"  data-e-type=\"widget\" data-id=\"cc6c633\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c3e923 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c3e923\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Both starters and motors are heavily impacted by frequent starts and stops, so paying extra attention to these areas is important.\u00a0 At FS-Elliott, we work to provide the best-in-class motors and starters with each of our <a href=\"\/zh\/products\/centrifugal-compressors\/industrial-air-compressors\/\">\u6781\u5149<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> and <a href=\"\/zh\/products\/centrifugal-compressors\/engineered-air-compressors\/\">PAP Plus<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> machines.

This setting needs to be programmed in during the commissioning of your FS-Elliott compressor and is supplied in our technical manual under the motors and starters section. General starter types are listed below:<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><ul><li>Wye-Delta\u00a0<\/li><li>Full Voltage Across the Line\u00a0<\/li><li>Reduced Voltage Solid State\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3>Motor Management<\/h3><div>Numerous variations of motors can be installed within your air compressor. Every motor start raises the internal temperature of the windings, stators, and rotor inside the motor, regardless of your brand. Programming the time between the hot motor starts and stops per hour will allow the motor to cool down and reliably start again. Bypassing this option can lead to overheating of the parts within the motor, thus causing damage.
