Baldor MA8-080-BC Solid State Starter

The Baldor MA8-080-BC Solid State Starter is a versatile and reliable solution for motor control. With its gradual acceleration and deceleration options, this starter minimizes mechanical stress on your equipment. You can also adjust current levels for optimal performance and benefit from built-in protection mechanisms, including overload and phase loss detection.

Multi Purpose - Self powered logic control module - 80 Amp -  Non-combination (with overload) - NEMA12 (IP65)

1. Ramp-Up and Ramp-Down Settings:

   • The starter allows you to configure gradual acceleration (ramp-up) and deceleration (ramp-down) for motor control.
   • This feature helps reduce mechanical stress on the motor and connected equipment.

2. Adjustable Current Levels:

   • You can set specific current levels for motor operation.
   • The starter responds to changes in load conditions, ensuring efficient performance.

3. Protection Devices:

   • The MA8-080-BC includes built-in protection mechanisms:
     • Overload Protection: Prevents excessive current draw.
     • Phase Loss Protection: Detects phase imbalances.
     • Short Circuit Protection: Safeguards against short circuits.
     • Current Level Protection: Triggers shutdown if current exceeds a specified level.

4. Bypass Contactor:

   • The starter uses bypass contactors (such as ASEA or ABB) for G and R controls.
