The EPM electrolytic starter is AOIP’s solution to start slip ring motors with heavy duty cycle and high power. Made in France and using premium materials, the EPM has proven to be reliable and sturdy, even in the most challenging environment. • Smooth progressive acceleration • Wide range of applications • Sturdy and reliable • Customised for each application • Reduced maintenance Thanks to EPM (Mobile Plunge Electrode) technology, our starters ensure a smooth and linear start without any mechanical jerk for difficult and high-power applications (from 500 kW to 20,000 kW). The range is divided into 4 models with a large number of options available. EPM starters consist of a control cubicle(LV), a short circuit cubicle (HV), an electrolytic tank and an electrode lifting system Each starter is offered with an agitator system (propeller or pump) to ensure the thermal and chemical homogeneity of the electrolyte. Thermostats and a level sensor are installed to ensure the safety of the starter. Principle : Due to the very high starting torque, slip ring motors cannot start on their own. Adding resistance to the rotor makes it possible to change the torque and speed characteristics of the motor thus reducing the impact of starting torque. The EPM starter uses this principle and inserts a variable resistor to start the slip ring motor at a set torque value depending on the application.
