ArmorConnect Power Media Description
The ArmorStart Power Media offers both three-phase and control power
cable system of cordsets, patchcords, receptacles, tees, reducers and
accessories to be utilized with the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller.
These cable system components allow quick connection of ArmorStart
Distributed Motor Controllers and reduce installation time. They provide
for repeatable, reliable connection of the three-phase and control power to
the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller and motor by providing a plug
and play environment that also avoids system mis-wiring. When specifying
power media for use with the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controllers
(Bulletins 280, 281, 283, and 284) use only the Bulletin 280
ArmorConnect™ power media.
