Franklin Electric BAS1-18/P-40 Motor Starter 200-600V

Product Description

The FRANKLIN ELECTRIC BAS1-18/P-40 is a full-featured motor starter engineered for seamless integration with building automation systems (BAS). It accepts a wide input voltage range of 200 to 600 VAC and features a 1 to 40A adjustable overload, making it adaptable to a broad range of motor loads. The unit supports both single-phase and three-phase operation at 50Hz or 60Hz. Advanced I/O includes Firemans Override and damper control outputs, giving controls technicians and mechanical contractors the flexibility needed for complex HVAC and mechanical system applications.

This starter is suited for commercial and light industrial HVAC installations where direct integration with a building automation system is required. Typical applications include air handling units, exhaust fans, pumps, and other motor-driven equipment where damper coordination and Firemans Override functionality are part of the sequence of operations. The Type 1 enclosure rating makes it appropriate for indoor electrical room or mechanical room installations.
