About LG SMC-50P DOL STARTER
A DOL starter (also known as a direct on line starter or across the line starter) is a method of starting a 3 phase induction motor. In a DOL Starter, an induction motor is connected directly across its 3-phase supply, and the DOL starter applies the full line voltage to the motor terminals.Efficient Motor Control SolutionThe LG SMC-50P DOL Starter streamlines motor operations in industrial settings, providing powerful yet straightforward direct-on-line (DOL) starting. Its low energy consumption and high power factor (0.95) ensure cost-effective performance. Incorporating advanced overload and short-circuit protection, the starter prioritizes equipment safety and longevity for continuous productivity.
Durable Construction and DesignBuilt with a rugged sheet metal body and powder-coated surface, the LG SMC-50P withstands harsh environments, meeting IP54 standards for dust and water resistance. Its compact, rectangular shape enables flexible mounting on walls or control panels, ideal for space-constrained industrial facilities. The use of polycarbonate insulation further strengthens operational safety.
