電光工業 List of Products and Services

Denkou Kogyo manufactures and sells starters for induction motors. The starter is a device that can limit the starting current required during the startup of an induction motor (which is 6 to 10 times the rated operating current) to about 3 to 4 times, thereby compactly reducing the required capacity of the power supply equipment. Among them, the special Condorfa starter "V-Star" boosts the applied voltage during startup in three stages using a single-winding transformer, ensuring torque while suppressing the starting current. It contributes to the reduction of generator capacity and the introduction of manufacturing equipment without the need for additional generators. It is a product registered with NETIS, so you can use it with confidence. (Old number: KT-140120-VE) Our company offers consultations and solutions for the miniaturization of generators planned for use, including detailed designs that take into account the installation conditions of the motors at the delivery site (such as power distribution equipment capacity and indoor/outdoor location conditions). *For more details on "V-Star," please check the <Download Catalog>. *From July 29, we will be exhibiting at "Sewage Works Exhibition '25 Osaka." We also plan to introduce the new type "α-Beat," which utilizes thyristors and allows for soft start and soft stop.

To avoid direct connection troubles, the star-delta method is generally used, but there are issues here as well. Has the breaker ever tripped? The breaker can trip during "the switch from star to delta" and "when the starting torque is insufficient." You can find detailed information about each pattern in the related links. 【Why does the breaker trip?】 ■Reason 1: When switching from star to delta ■Reason 2: When the starting torque is insufficient *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce the types and characteristics of starting methods. "Full voltage starting" is characterized by a large power capacity, simplicity, and low cost. On the other hand, "reduced voltage starting" includes methods such as star-delta starting, reactor starting, condenser starting, special condenser starting, and soft starters. When a motor starts, a large current flows, generating significant starting torque, which can cause various electrical and mechanical issues. To avoid this, Denko Industry offers various starting methods. 【Full Voltage Starting Characteristics】 ■ Direct-on-line starting - Simple - Inexpensive - Large power capacity - Significant mechanical shock *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Denko Kogyo has adopted a unique magnetic flux cancellation method to avoid switching surges that cause various troubles, thus solving this issue. There are innovations on how to transition smoothly to operation without generating surges. All of our starters, including the V-Star, VT-Star, and C-Star, utilize magnetic flux cancellation to create a non-inductive circuit, eliminating reactance and transitioning to full voltage operation. This not only prevents moisture ingress and deterioration of insulation but also allows the starter coil to absorb surges, protecting the motor. Additionally, there are various benefits such as the miniaturization and space-saving of the 42MC for operation. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

As you may have noticed, natural disasters such as heavy rain, floods, earthquakes, and eruptions are becoming increasingly severe year by year, causing social infrastructure to cease functioning and resulting in a rising trend of damages. In preparation for this, it is becoming increasingly recognized that emergency power supply systems and generators, which allow activities to resume without waiting for the restoration of extensive power supply networks, are important issues for ensuring the foundation of daily life. There may also be considerations for regular use without relying on external sources. However, if the load equipment to be secured is motor-driven, the generator size increases due to the starting current, which, while necessary, cannot be ignored from an economic perspective when it comes to implementation. Therefore, we recommend using the motor starter "Special Condor V-Star," which reduces generator capacity. By using this product, your generator can be downsized, leading to reduced initial costs. Being smaller means that construction costs, installation space, maintenance costs, and CO2 emissions can also be reduced, achieving a reduction in burden and advancing the resilience of society. Our company is striving to assist in any way possible, and we look forward to hearing from you. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

Here is an example of calculating generator capacity. In a certain high-rise condominium, it became necessary to calculate the capacity of an emergency generator. When calculated using the conventional star-delta starting method, it turned out to be approximately 450 kVA, which was found to be a significant burden both spatially and economically. We were then consulted by the company to see if the generator capacity could be reduced. We conducted calculations using a special condenser starter called "V-Star" for some of the larger loads. It was determined that we could reduce the capacity to approximately 300 kVA, contributing to a reduction in initial costs. In the related links, we have also posted various inquiries received from customers, so please take a look. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
