HIRE EQUIPMENT

HIRE LINE BORING HPUS

Multilec Engineering provide the hire of electrical motor starters.

We have primarily starter this service for all the equipment that has been removed from site where the DCS and motor starter is located. Local repair facilities do not have the equipment to start the motor to load test the equipment after the completed repairs.

To provide a solution to this we can provide:

  • DOL starters with cable and plugs. Client can specify type of plug and we will do our best to accommodate 037kw to 75kw
  • Soft Starters 3 wire or 6 wire 1kw to 200kw
  • VVVF VSD or Variable speed drives 0.75kw to 100kw
  • Phase rotation switches can be offered in different sizes for dual direction requirements.

Our soft start panels have the following:

  • Stainless steel enclosures IP66
  • Galvanised frame to contain all leads plugs and provide easy of transport
  • Leads length and size can be specified by the client. Current and Volt drop calculations can be completed as required.
  • We can intergrate additional controls if this a requirement.

FAQ GENSET SIZING

Brochure Motor Starting and Genset Sizing

Genset sizing for motor starting application

  • @ 3 Phase 415VAC 50Hz
  • Amps available on a generator per phase = KVA x 1.39
    Example; 20KVA = 28 Amps / Phase over 3 phases
  • Information provided below provided by Atlas Copco
    https://atlascea.com.au/generator-sizing-kva-calculator/
  • Most reputable manufacturers produce motors with these characteristics
  • When controlled by a soft starter, this type of motor usually accelerates comfortably and smoothly in approximately 3.5 x Full Load Current (FLC) of the electric motor
  • Please note this is a guide only and can vary due to load and starter settings
