WHAT IS A MOTOR CONTROL PANEL AND WHEN IS IT USED?
A motor control panel is an enclosure containing the equipment to start electric motors, usually mounted on the wall near the air curtain to be controlled. The equipment consists of motor starters, a transformer for the control circuit, terminal blocks, and other components to meet specific requirements. It is also used to start, stop, and protect the motors in the air curtains. Motor control panels are available as an option and can be manufactured to meet any requirement. All electric heated models contain a motor control panel as standard equipment. All Mars motor control panels are U.L. Listed.
