It combines a full-service, reduced-voltage wye-delta controller and a fire-pump-rated automatic transfer switch in one assembly, for fire pumps with motors designed for wye-delta starting. Every FT70 is built to order, so we quote each one to your motor, voltage, enclosure and options. Call \u003ca href=\"tel:+17863365783\"\u003e(786) 336-5783\u003c\/a\u003e or send us your catalog number or spec section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the FT70 works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FT70 connects the pump motor windings in a wye configuration to start, then switches them to a delta configuration to run. This significantly reduces the motor's starting current, and wye-delta is the only starting method with a starting torque efficiency of 100%. In open transition, the motor is briefly disconnected while the windings switch from wye to delta. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/eaton-ft80-wye-delta-closed-fire-pump-controller-with-ats\"\u003eFT80 closed transition\u003c\/a\u003e keeps the motor connected through the changeover. Wye-delta starting requires a motor with its windings brought out for wye-delta connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated automatic transfer switch moves the fire pump to an alternate power source, such as a generator or second utility feed, when the normal source fails, and the EPCT Fire touchscreen manages both the controller and the transfer switch from one display. FT70 controllers are supplied as dual utility controllers and meet FM 1321\/1323 approvals.
