The PowerXL DE1 variable-speed starter combines the ease of a motor starter with the versatility of a variable-frequency drive, making it suitable for situations in which variable motor speed is required but would be too complex. It is equipped with standard application defaults. Because it is designed without a keypad, it can be configured in other ways if the defaults are not sufficient. The plug-in DXE-EXT-SET configuration model is an option for users to adjust default settings of key parameters such as ramp time, motor protection and control terminal function using a screwdriver.
