    Three-phase induction motors are widely used because of their inherent simplicity, relatively low cost, and virtually maintenance free operation. These motors, however, are far from ideal during starting. Depending on construction, motors typically require at least 5 to 6 times their full load current during acceleration to full speed.

    When starting across-the-line (or with reduced-voltage starters) approximately half of the line current is used to overcome losses and accelerate the rotor. This portion represents the energy required to start the load, and must be supplied by the line.
    KURRENT-KUTTER reduces the line
in-rush current to 50-60% of normal current.This system provides high  starting torque, however, by utilizing better than 80% of this current for acceleration. With an ideal power source, starting torque with a KURRENT-KUTTER will equal that of full-voltage starting. Shaft torque will be lower with full-voltage starting in normal applications, due to voltage drop.   
    The KURRENT-KUTTER may be employed for any load designed for full-voltage starting. The system is suitable for use with any three-phase induction motor. Standard models are supplied in a NEMA 3R aluminum enclosure.
    The KURRENT-KUTTER   is designed for installation with any standard full-voltage with one additional auxiliary contact (N.O.). This feature provides the user with  a local supply of heaters and replacement parts. KURRENT-KUTTER   panel is wired into the motor circuit between the starter and the motor.
    Optional enclosures or mounting provisions are available on all sizes. Power factor correction capacitors may also be included to minimize installation procedures.
