SENSING-SAF-STARTS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SENSING-SAF-STARTS from 3G Electric.
What is the primary function of a SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart device?
A SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart device is designed to prevent equipment from automatically restarting after a power interruption. When power is restored following an outage, the device remains in an open state, requiring manual reset before the connected equipment can operate again. This function is essential for safety in industrial environments where unexpected restart could cause injury or damage.
What voltage options are available for SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart cords?
SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart cords are available in 120V AC and 240V AC configurations. For example, model 1997 is rated for 120V AC, while model 1999 is rated for 200V-240V AC. The voltage rating should match the power supply of the equipment being protected.
What cord lengths are offered for SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart devices?
SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart devices are available in cord lengths of approximately 2.1 feet (model 1996) and 9.6 feet (models 1997, 1998, and 1999). The length choice depends on the distance between the power source and the equipment.
What plug and receptacle configurations are available for SENSING-SAF-STARTS devices?
SENSING-SAF-STARTS devices come with various configurations. Models 1996 and 1997 feature a NEMA 5-15P plug and a 5-15R receptacle. Models 1998 and 1999 have bare-wire terminations on both ends, allowing for hardwired connections. This flexibility supports different installation methods.
What is the jacket material used in SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart cords?
The jacket material for SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart cords is rubber. Rubber provides durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion and environmental factors, making it suitable for industrial environments where cords may be subject to wear.
How does a SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart device support lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures?
A SENSING-SAF-STARTS anti-restart device can be used as part of a lockout/tagout program by preventing equipment from restarting after a power loss. When power is restored, the device requires manual reset, ensuring that equipment remains off until personnel verify it is safe to operate. This adds a layer of protection against unintended startup.
