We would like to introduce a case study regarding the replacement of inverters with 'Powertron' handled by Ekon Co., Ltd. If you are currently using an inverter with only ON/OFF operation at 0% and 100% operation, replacing it with our product is expected to reduce both initial costs and running costs. Additionally, the larger the capacity, the more significant the effect. 【Case Overview】 ■Implementation Effects - Reduction of initial costs and running costs *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Power generation equipment

We would like to introduce a case study regarding the reduction of generator capacity for "Powertron," handled by Ekon Corporation. In systems where the generator capacity and transmission capacity are not sufficiently large compared to the input motor, voltage drop and frequency fluctuations can be minimized, and harmonic currents are not generated. This product features a starting method that allows for a smaller generator capacity. 【Case Overview】 ■Implementation Benefits - Ability to reduce generator capacity *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Regarding the black smoke suppression of 'Powertron' handled by Ekon Co., Ltd., we would like to introduce a comparison case with the Condorfa starting method. In the case of the Condorfa starting method, a sudden surge of excessive power is generated, resulting in a large amount of black smoke. However, our product gradually increases power, leading to almost no black smoke generation. Our product has a strong track record in marine applications, and in recent years, it has also gained attention as a measure to reduce black smoke emitted from ship funnels. [Case Summary] ■ Condorfa Starting Method - Generates a large amount of black smoke due to a sudden surge of excessive power. ■ Powertron - Generates almost no black smoke as it gradually increases power. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Regarding the voltage drop suppression of 'Powertron' handled by Ekon Corporation, we will introduce a comparison case with the Condorfa starting method. In the Condorfa starting method, a large inrush current flows instantaneously during the first and second stages. While there are means to reduce the voltage in the first stage to suppress the inrush current, this also suppresses the acceleration torque, increasing the risk of poor acceleration. Additionally, there is a possibility that the inrush current will be larger when transitioning to full voltage. With our product, although a voltage drop occurs, the inrush current is minimized, and it gradually rises afterward, allowing for the voltage drop to be kept to a minimum. [Case Summary] ■ Condorfa Starting Method - A large inrush current flows instantaneously during the first and second stages. ■ Powertron - A voltage drop occurs, but it can be minimized. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The "Powertron" is a phase control type starter that uses a thyristor (SCR) as a switching element, making it very compact in volume and weight, advantageous for space-saving. For soft starting matched to the equipment being started, the equipment can start without shock, reducing mechanical wear. Especially when the power source is a generator, it can significantly reduce the generator's capacity compared to other starting methods, greatly lowering initial and running costs. Additionally, because it is a contactless switch, there are no wear parts, which reduces maintenance. 【Features】 ■ Easy fine adjustment, no need for connection tap replacement work ■ Small installation volume ■ As a contactless switch, it does not degrade even with repeated use ■ No transient current, power, or torque fluctuations occur ■ Easy to increase capacity *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
