Electric Motor Controllers
Across-the-Line, Reduced Voltage (Wye-Delta, Soft Start) for Main Pumps.
In fire safety, there is no room for compromise. The effectiveness of your entire fire suppression system—sprinklers, hydrants, and standpipes—rests on one critical component: the Fire Pump Control Panel.
This panel is not a standard electrical starter; it is the highly specialized, mandatory interface designed to automatically start, monitor, and manage the fire pump system in a life-threatening emergency. Its core purpose is singular: to ensure the fire pump runs instantly, reliably, and continuously to deliver the necessary water pressure, regardless of electrical faults or system conditions.
We design and manufacture Fire Pump Control Panels engineered to one standard: unfailing reliability when it matters most.
Unlike a typical industrial motor control center, a Fire Pump Controller must adhere to some of the strictest global safety and electrical standards to guarantee life safety. Our panels are built in strict accordance with recognized codes, typically including:
Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection—defines operational logic ensuring the pump starts and cannot be easily stopped.
Governs wiring requirements, circuit protection for power continuity, and ensures overall electrical integrity.
Often required by AHJ and insurance companies, certifying the controller has been tested and approved by recognized third-party agencies for this life-safety service.
Our controllers manage and protect the entire fire pump assembly, typically including the Main Fire Pump and the smaller Jockey Pump (Pressure Maintenance Pump).
| System Component | Controller Function | Reliability Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Main Pump | Automatic Start: Initiated by a drop in system pressure (via pressure switches). | Cannot be automatically stopped once started; requires manual reset to ensure the fire is out. |
| Power Supply | Constant Monitoring: Continuously checks for phase loss, voltage fluctuations, and power availability. | Designed to bypass standard motor overload protection circuits to prevent nuisance tripping during a fire. |
| Jockey Pump | Pressure Maintenance: Automatically starts and stops the small pump to maintain normal system pressure and prevent main pump cycling. | Ensures the main pump is reserved only for actual fire events, extending its operational life. |
| Status & Alarms | Diagnostics: Provides clear, immediate indication of running status, power failure, phase reversal, and system faults. | Includes test procedures and logging capabilities for mandatory weekly and annual inspections. |
We provide a comprehensive range of controllers for every application and pump driver type:
Across-the-Line, Reduced Voltage (Wye-Delta, Soft Start) for Main Pumps.
Integrated control, monitoring, and dual-battery charging systems for diesel engine-driven pumps.
Essential panels for smaller pressure maintenance pumps.
Seamlessly manages the transition from primary power to a backup generator for the fire pump.
