It's a full-service, reduced-voltage controller that brings the motor up to speed with a smooth, step-less current ramp and slows it down just as smoothly, and it works with standard motors. Every FD90 is built to order, so we quote each one to your motor, voltage, enclosure and options.

This eliminates current surges and mechanical torque transients at start, which reduces stress on the motor, pump and piping. A soft-stop feature decelerates the motor smoothly as well, which helps reduce water hammer in the system.
