OLP 3 AC Starter
Switch to safe living.
Today, air-conditioners are usually the highest energy-consuming appliance in a home, and also one of the most expensive. The all-new OLP 3 is an advanced microprocessor-controlled motor starter designed to ensure safety and long life of your air-conditioner using the time-tested combination of VOLT CHECK, AMP CHECK, and TIME CHECK.
OLP 3 fits in a standard 4-module enclosure, and the pristine white color blends in with all kinds of interior designs.
VOLTCHECK Safety from unsafe voltage.
OLP 3 monitors the line voltage and trips if safe limits (160-270V) are breached. If tripped, the reason (hi/lo) and value of unsafe voltage are shown. Restarts automatically once the voltage goes back within the safe range.
AMPCHECK
Current drawn by the AC is monitored continuously, and the output is disconnected if this exceeds a pre-set limit. This protects the compressor from damage due to rotor locking or excessively long start-up time. Tripping follows an inversetime-current characteristic – higher the overload, faster the tripping response. After tripping, the overload current is shown on the display.
TIMECHECK
On tripping, OLP 3 holds the output open for a duration of 3 minutes from the time of last compressor operation, and then restarts the AC automatically. This is important safety measure for the compressor. When TIME CHECK is active, the display indicates the number of minutes left for AC to restart, along with trip information.
