OPERATION

The Opal Pro series is a processor controlled line of solid state reduced voltage starters for use with 3 phase induction motors.

A solid state starter provides a step-less, smooth current ramp to the motor. This characteristic eliminates current surges and mechanical torque transients. Since these units are solid state, they eliminate the maintenance of moving contacts, which are involved in almost any other method of starting an AC induction motor.
