The Power Controller (PC) is an advanced
computerized technology that is specially designed to optimize energy savings, enhance the
performance of inductive motors and extend their life. Originally developed for NASA, the
technology has been advanced and made available for particular applications through UCSA.
Through a specially programmed microchip, the PC can cut the energy usage of large
energy eaters in your home or business by as much as 50% ... energy consuming central air
conditioning, pool pumps, factories, or machine shops. The PC will work on any inductive
motor, and will not only save on electricity costs, but will extend the life of your motor
by ensuring that it consumes just enough electrical power to meet the energy requirements
placed on it. That means less wear and tear on the motor, lower maintenance costs, and
less downtime due to electric motor failure. Controlling your power usage also means
controlling your electric bills.
- Analyzes motor size and load to calculate optimum savings
- Smoothly engages
the power at start up and while running with variable loads (a must for all
commercial motors)
- Eliminates sudden jolts and impacts during load changes which means wear and tear on
your motor
- Continuouslyselects the most efficient setting for each motor configuration throughout
the entire motor's operations (loaded or unloaded)
- Status LED nforms you what mode of operation the microprocessor is in
- Flashes codes with the LED if there is too much power factor jitter, the motor is fully
loaded, or it is overloaded
- Available in single phase and three phase
The Power Controller
is made for use with any inductive motor, but is most beneficial in use with:
pumps, blowers, fans, washing machines, gas heated dryers, central air
conditioning; and machine shop equipment such as drill presses, lathes, conveyer
belts, escalators, and all sorts of commercial applications.
The Power Controller
is simple to install and adaptable to a variety of motors. Since some motors
have different requirements for optimum performance, it provides you with 16
different jumper pin setting to enable you to select different programs to best
suit your application. All you have to do is wire it in according to the instructions,
and forget it. The Power Controller will do all the work for you.
PC-1 FEATURES
Automatic Motor Configurator® (AMC): Analyzes motor size and load to calculate optimum
settings (user friendly, no adjustments needed, just plug in and forget) for all in-line
and plug-in models.
Smooth Rampup Engagement® (SRE):
Save bearing and belt life by smoothly engaging the power at startup and
while running with variable loads. A must for every commercial motor.
Super Saver Monitor® (SSM):
Automatically and continually selects the most efficient setting for
each motor configuration throughout the entire motor’s operation.
Status Mode LED® (SML):
Tri-color lights inform you what mode of operation microprocessor is in.
