Beckwith Electric Introduces the M-4272 Motor Bus Transfer System
Largo, Florida – December 8, 2009 – Beckwith Electric introduces the latest in Integrated Synchronizing Systems®, the M-4272 Motor Bus Transfer System providing flexible automatic and manual motor bus transfers with digital high speed fast transfer in two to three cycles. The system automatically selects from fast, in-phase or residual voltage transfer modes, based on existing system conditions.
The Motor Bus Transfer systems are primarily used for motor applications in thermal power generating plants with auxiliary systems, petroleum refineries, chemical processing, mining facilities, steel production, food processing, desalination and waste water treatment plants.
This Motor Bus Transfer system provides smooth transfer and reconnection on demand every time motor loads suffer sudden loss of the primary supply. The smooth and controlled transition provided by the M-4272, prolongs motor life expectancy, prevents down time by eliminating mechanical stresses and drastically reduces unplanned maintenance costs, while always maintaining critical process without interruption. In addition, the system avoids catastrophic disaster to costly motors, prevents huge repair expenses and loss of revenue due to down time, thus yielding maximum profits for the users business.
