To help businesses reduce energy usage, Fairford have developed a range of energy optimising products.

 With rising energy costs, products offering energy savings are becoming increasingly important.

 The vast majority of electric motors in use today are fixed speed, fixed voltage AC induction motors. These motors consume two thirds of the total electricity used in industry.

 With this in mind, using a technology that could save energy on fixed speed induction motors should be a consideration when replacing motor starters or designing new systems.

 Fairford Electronics has patented its Energy Optimising system which is used within many of its Soft Starters. This technology could save up to 40% of the energy consumed by a lightly loaded motor.

PFE - 45mm Wide Internally Bypassed Soft Starter
 

The PFE is the latest development from Fairford Electronics, who have 25 years of experience producing innovative designs in the soft start market.

With ratings from 2.2kW to 18.5kW, the PFE is ideally placed to support the majority of AC induction motors in use today. This makes the PFE the natural choice for distributors and customers alike.

Benefiting from Fairford’s excellence in engineering, the PFE combines the quality and reliability you have come to expect. This is one product that ticks all the boxes.

DFE - Internally Bypassed Soft Starter
 
 

The DFE is Fairford's internally bypassed, non-optimising Soft Starter which is perfect for panel builders and end users alike. To the user it offers competitive pricing, soft stopping and the removal of high transient currents.

To the panel builder it can easily substitute a Star/Delta starter because it fits into a similar footprint thus simplifying installation.

XFE - Energy Optimising Soft Starter
 
 

The XFE Soft Starter is the choice where cost is an issue or if you need lighter start duty capability and overload protection than the QFE.

With exactly the same pedigree and underlying engineering as the QFE, the XFE has a range of ratings and options available such as use with an external bypass contactor and non-energy optimising or optimising depending on your application.

The easy-to-use keypad and high visibility LCD multi-character display are just two of the features which make this Soft Starter the ideal choice for most applications and places this unit way ahead of the competition

HFE - Single Phase Energy Optimising Soft Starter
 

This is the ideal 'retrofit' energy optimising solution for Soft Starting single phase compressors such as those used in Supermarket refrigerators and chillers etc., and can yield between 10 -18% energy savings. It has a rugged tin lid construction and can be mounted easily next to the machine or control panel. Installation of the unit is quick and simple due to the 'two wires in, two wires out' design. The unit is 'fit and forget' is there is no maintenance for the user.
