How to Setup Soft Starter Parameter?

Soft starter is a motor control device that integrates motor soft start, soft stop, light load energy saving and various protection functions. It not only realizes the smooth and shock-free starting of the motor in the whole starting process, but also adjusts the parameters in the starting process, such as current limit value and starting time, etc., according to the characteristics of the motor load. In the normal working state of the ATO soft starter, the motor runs normally after pressing RUN, and the bypass contactor is normally closed. Next let's setup the soft starter.

Optical Fiber Connection and Measurement

How to Wire and Test an AC Current Sensor?

The AC current sensor is a device for detecting AC current, which can sense the information of the AC current being measured, and can convert the detected and sensed information into electrical signals or other required forms of information output according to certain rules. It can meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording and control, and is the primary link to realizing automatic detection and automatic control.

How to Use a Magnetic Stirrer?

The heated magnetic stirrer is a laboratory instrument for liquid mixing, mainly used for stirring or simultaneously heating and stirring low-viscosity liquid or solid-liquid mixtures. The basic principle is to use the magnetic field of the same-sex repulsion and opposite-sex attraction principle, and use the magnetic field to push the magnetic stirrer placed in the container to rotate in a circle, so as to achieve the purpose of stirring the liquid. With the heating temperature control system, it can heat and control the sample temperature according to the specific experimental requirements, maintain the temperature conditions required by the experimental conditions, and ensure that the liquid mixing meets the experimental requirements.

Introduction of Welding Fume Extractor

A welding fume extractor is the equipment to use to remove welding fume created when working with metals used in welding applications. Metal fume created during the welding process is carcinogenic and can have dangerous long term effects if not properly removed from the breathing zone. Welding fumes are dangerous to all employees on the shop floor.

What is Filter?

A power line filter, also known as EMI/ RFI power line filter, is an electronic passive device which is installed between the power line and the equipment in order to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). Due to high attenuation performance, 1-phase and 3-phase EMI AC power line filters on ATO.com are good solutions for EMI suppression, which provide a reliable protection for a wide range of applications in the industrial areas.

How Does a Linear Actuator Work?

A linear actuator is an electric drive device that converts the rotational movement of the motor into the linear reciprocating movement of the pushrod. It can be used as an executive machine in various simple or complex technological processes to realize remote control, centralized control or automatic control.

How to Choose a Ball Valve?

The ball valve is a valve that uses a ball with a circular channel as the opening and closing part, and the ball rotates with the valve stem to realize the opening and closing action. The opening and closing part of the ball valve is a ball with a hole, which rotates around the axis perpendicular to the channel, so as to achieve the purpose of opening and closing the channel. Ball valves are mainly used to open and close pipelines and equipment media.

Butterfly Valve Basics: Working Principles, Features and Applications

Butterfly valve, also known as flap valve, is a kind of regulating valve with simple structure. Butterfly valve can be used for switch control of low-pressure pipeline medium. It means that the closing member (disc or butterfly plate) is a disc, which rotates around the valve shaft to achieve opening and closing of a valve. Today, we are going to introduce what is a butterfly valve to you. We hope that you can have a general idea about it after reading.

What is a Timer Relay?

ATO time relay is a very important component in the electrical control system. In many control systems, time relays are required to implement time delay control. It is an automatic control electrical appliance that uses the principle of electromagnetic or mechanical action to delay the closing or breaking of contacts. Its characteristic is that there is a delay from the time when the attracting coil gets the signal to the action of the contact, which is generally used for the motor starting process control with time as a function.

How to Wire 3-phase Induction Motor?

3-phase induction motor is an electromechanical energy conversion device which converts 3-phase input electrical power into output mechanical power. 3-phase induction motor consists of a stator and a rotor.

How to Set the Detection Range of the Gas Detector?

The gas detector is used in the occasions where mobile fast detection and reading of various gas concentrations, temperature and humidity measurements on site, and alarms for exceeding the standard are required. The clear color screen is used to display the concentration in real time, and the electrochemical or infrared and catalytic combustion products that are the best in the current industry are selected. , thermal conductivity, PID photoion principle gas sensor, precision capacitive digital temperature and humidity sensor, simulation icon display menu function, pump suction measurement, built-in replaceable water vapor and dust filter, protection grade IP67, rain and short-circuit proof time to soak.

What is a Surge Protection Device?

Surge protection device, also known as SPD, is an electronic device that provides safety protection for various electronic equipment, instruments and communication lines. When a surge current or voltage is suddenly generated in an electrical circuit or communication line due to external interference, the surge protection device can conduct the shunt in a very short period of time, thereby avoiding the damage of the surge to other equipment in the circuit.

How Does a Stepper Motor Work?

A Stepper motor is an open-loop control element stepper motor that converts electrical pulse signals into angular displacement or linear displacement. By controlling the sequence, frequency and number of electrical pulses applied to the motor coils, it can realize the steering, speed and rotation angle control.

Display of Welding Fume Extractor

A fume extractor is a system utilizing a fan to pull fumes and particulate into a filtration system cleaning the air of harmful chemicals and particulates. Industrial processes create fumes or particles such as welding, sanding, grinding, spraying, powder filling, and chemical applications.
