Stable startup of a 132kW crusher with generator power! Special Condor starter.

Even in quarries without electricity, you can be at ease. It reduces the starting current to about half of direct input, preventing voltage drops and enabling stable starting of heavy machinery powered by generators.

Large crushing machines, such as self-propelled jaw crushers, operate in quarries without electricity, relying solely on generators mounted on the machines for power. When directly starting a 132kW, 440V motor, the starting current reaches approximately 2,900A, causing a significant drop in the generator's voltage. In this case, we designed and manufactured a special tap exclusively for this machine for the V-Star, which reduced the starting current to about half of the direct connection. After delivery, we measured the startup on-site using the generator as the power source and confirmed that it started in about 8 to 9 seconds. Please consult us for starting machines with unknown startup loads, such as crushers, mixers, and conveyors, especially in locations where the only power source is a generator. 【Overview of the Case Study】 Application example of a self-propelled jaw crusher operating in a quarry without commercial power ■ Issues/Concerns: Wanted to start a 132kW motor using only the mounted generator, but there was a risk of significant voltage drop due to the approximately 2,900A current from direct connection. ■ Response: Designed and manufactured a special tap for the machine to apply with the special Condor starter "V-Star." ■ Implementation Effect: Reduced the starting current to about half of the direct connection (maximum approximately 1,350A) and achieved stable startup in about 8 to 9 seconds using the generator power source.
