It's a full-service, reduced-voltage controller for electric fire pumps driven by part-winding motors. Every FD40 is built to order, so we quote each one to your motor, voltage, enclosure and options.

This reduces starting current by up to 40% while maintaining up to 50% of motor starting torque. The FD40 is the most economical method of reduced-voltage starting, but it requires a special motor wound for part-winding starting. If your motor isn't wound for part-winding, consider the \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 or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eaton-fd80-wye-delta-closed-fire-pump-controller\"\u003eFD80 wye-delta\u003c\/a\u003e, or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eaton-fd90-soft-start-fire-pump-controller\"\u003eFD90 soft start\u003c\/a\u003e.
