Simpler is better

Simplified wiring requirements and a reduction in components needing to be inventoried are key gains yielded by this move toward standardization.

With these motor starters you don’t need separate fuses or fuse holders, so that simplifies wiring and keeps the electrical cabinet smaller and simpler to integrate in the design of the machine.”

That’s how Ken Klippenstein of Klippenstein Corp. describes a key advantage gained when his firm began using TeSys® U-Line motor starters from Schneider Electric. The motor starter is a routine component used to regulate current loads rushing to an AC motor. Among the first machines at Klippenstein to be built with these new motor starters was the Model K503-SF case sealer, used primarily in the poultry industry for sealing side-flap cases.

“Shortly after moving to these motor starters,” says Klippenstein, “we began moving to other packaging controls components from Schneider because we liked the idea of buying all these components from a single source. It’s a more standardized approach.”
