KEMP, Texas, Aug. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Larson Electronics LLC, a leader of industrial lighting, has released an explosion proof direct on line magnetic starter that powers and preserves industrial equipment at a reduced voltage. This 200hp unit is compatible with 480V three-phase 50/60 Hz and features a start/stop push button and a CPT with primary fuses. 

The Larson Electronics EXP-MTSTR-DOL-3P-480V-200HP-250A Explosion Proof Direct on Line Magnetic Starter provides reduced voltage starting solutions for industrial equipment located in combustible environments.

The EXP-MTSTR-DOL-3P-480V-200HP-250A is an explosion proof direct on line magnetic starter, which is compatible with 480V three-phase 50/60 Hz. The soft starter distributes 270 amps with a coil voltage of 110-120V and has an overload relay amp that ranges between 55-250A to preserve industrial equipment used in flammable environments. The explosion proof unit is Class I, II, III, Division 1, 2 rated and is protected by a NEMA 7 rated enclosure. The rating makes the unit suitable to operate indoors and outdoors provided that proper ventilation is in place.  

The magnetic starter is built with copper-free aluminum enclosure with 316 grade steel cover bolts and includes a start and stop push button, along with reset controls located through the mechanical door. The unit has an accessible breaker handle that can be padlocked in the ON or OFF position, which reduces chances of tampering, and has a CPT with primary fuses included that offers overload and under voltage protection for selected equipment use. The EXP-MTSTR-DOL-3P-480V-200HP-250A contains 4-inch 1-inch and ½-inch hubs to securely mount it on walls or other flat surfaces.
