It's a stand-alone controller for electric fire pumps where full-voltage starting is acceptable to the utility and the authority having jurisdiction. Every FD30 is built to order, so we quote each one to your motor, voltage, enclosure and options.

It's the simplest starting method and gives the motor full starting torque, but starting inrush current is approximately 600% of the motor's rated full load amperes. Where the utility or the site limits inrush, reduced-voltage models are used instead: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eaton-fd40-part-winding-fire-pump-controller\"\u003eFD40 part winding\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eaton-fd60-autotransformer-fire-pump-controller\"\u003eFD60 autotransformer\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eaton-fd70-wye-delta-open-fire-pump-controller\"\u003eFD70\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eaton-fd80-wye-delta-closed-fire-pump-controller\"\u003eFD80 wye-delta\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eaton-fd90-soft-start-fire-pump-controller\"\u003eFD90 soft start\u003c\/a\u003e.
