Smart StarterA NASA-developed technology provides an effective and economical method of starting standard three phase motors. Firing Circuits, Inc. uses the power factor controller in its Wattstop Reduced Voltage AC Motor Starters. The power factor controller matches voltage with a motor's actual need by continuously sensing shifts between voltage and circuit. Energy savings range from 8 to 65 percent. Wattstops are used on cranes, hoists, conveyors, fans, as well as in papermaking, woodworking, metalworking, and many other applications.
