M700 Solid State Reduced Voltage Type

Metron/Metron-Eledyne series M700 solid State, reduced voltage, automatic fire pump controllers provide "Soft" starting and "Soft" stopping of electric motors. This solid state starting method reduces the inrush current and mechanical shocks associated with other conventional reduced voltage starting types. At start-up, a break away current is provided, followed by a timed ramp-up to 500% of the motor's full load amps. Initial current steps as well as current ramp time are completely adjustable to provide optimum starting in any electrical motor driven fire pump application
