XFE Main Features

Fairford Electronics Market Leading Automatic Application Set Up and Automatic Features

Just select your application and the XFE Soft Starters Automatic Features will do the rest.

Patented 'Fairford System' of Energy Optimising

In certain load conditions Fairford System of Optimising can reduce energy costs by reducing power required by the application, without loss of performance.

Manual Adjustment

Allows the user to quickly adjust operating features to suit different applications.

Adjustable Over-Current 'Shear Pin' Protection

Removes the need for costly and time consuming mechanical shearpins.

Adjustable Soft Starter Overload

Protects the Soft Starter against damage due to over currents. (Please note this does not replace a motor overload).

6 Button Keypad, 2 Line 32 Character Display

Saves time programming and fault finding because the messages are displayed in English rather than in code format

Smooth Step Less Acceleration of Motors to Full Speed with Reduction of Inrush Currents

Reduces mechanical and electrical strains on applications.

Unit Records History of Last 5 Trips

Allows the user to quickly determine which fault the Soft Starter has seen.

Option of Modbus or Remote Keypod Operation

Allows greater functionality.

In Delta Capability

Could reduce the size of the unit needed for the application.

Monitoring Menu

Power Meter, Current, Cos Ø and many more.
