A starter panel is the most basic type of motor control panel. It houses the starter and associated controls for an electric motor. The starter panel may also include a circuit breaker to protect the motor from overload.
A motor control center provides centralized power and control for multiple motors. It typically includes a starter panel, distribution panel, and motor control unit.
An Across-The-Line Combination Starter is an electrical device that is used to start a three phase induction motor. It consists of three contactors, a thermal overload relay, and a push button control station. The contactors are used to connect the motor to the power supply, the thermal overload relay is used to protect the motor from overheating, and the push button control station is used to manually start and stop the motor.
Explosion proof starters are devices that are used in environments where there is a risk of explosion. These starters are designed to prevent sparks or other ignition sources from igniting an explosive atmosphere. Some examples of industries where explosion proof starters may be used include chemical manufacturing, oil and gas production, and mining.
Multi-speed and reduced voltage starters are devices that are used to control the speed of an electric motor. These starters can be used to control the speed of a motor by reducing the voltage that is supplied to the motor, or by changing the speed at which the motor rotates. This type of starters are used in a variety of applications, such as in HVAC systems, pumps, fans, and conveyors. Multi-speed and reduced voltage starters can also be used to control the speed of an electric motor by reducing the voltage that is supplied to the motor. In some cases, the starter may also change the speed at which the motor rotates. Multi-speed starters are used in a variety of applications, such as in HVAC systems, pumps, fans, and conveyors.
Multi-motor starter panels are used to start multiple motors at the same time. This type of panel is often used in industrial and commercial applications where multiple motors need to be started simultaneously. Multi-motor starter panels typically have a main disconnect switch, fuses or circuit breakers for each motor, and a controller that allows the operator to start and stop the motors.
A Duplex Pump Panel is a type of pump controller that allows for the operation of two pumps in a system. Duplex pump panels are typically used in water treatment and irrigation applications. Duplex pump panels typically have two sets of control inputs and outputs, so that each pump can be operated independently. In some cases, Duplex Pump Panels may also have a third set of control inputs and outputs for a backup pump. Duplex pump panels typically have an on/off switch, a pressure switch, and a flow switch for each pump. Duplex Pump Panels may also have additional features such as an alarm system, manual override switches, and remote control capabilities.

Motor Control Unit (Inverter) - CP Series for High Voltage EV Application
The innovation of CP Series motor control unit (MCU) with DSP-based control is specifically designed for electric propulsion vehicles, embedded with efficient IGBT module for high power density and reliability. Its compact and robust design is suitable for various types of electric vehicle e-Drive system integration, including pure battery EV and plug-in hybrid EV.
MCU configures motor speed and torque after receiving comments from VCU (vehicle control unit) via CAN-bus communication. The MCU converts battery pack DC power source to AC power supply to drive propulsion motor. During vehicle braking, it can regenerate DC power back to battery pack for charging. Efficient cooling system enables its high power density and performance. Protection includes against over current, over voltage and ov er temperature. Various electrical and environmental tests are passed to meet international standards.
CP Series MCU provides maximum performance, efficiency, endurance and reliability for electric propulsion application, making electric vehicle drive more accountable.
