ABB Direct On Line (DOL) Starter 3 Phase 400V AC 5.5 kW IP65 Housing DRAF12

ABB DRAF12 Direct On Line (DOL) Starter, model DRAF12, provides a reliable and efficient way to energize 3 phase induction motors rated at 5.5 kW and 400V AC supply. It is designed to sustain moderate starting currents making it an excellent choice for small motor appliances where voltage dips are minimal.

The starter features a robust and compact design with overall dimensions measuring 230 mm (length) x 106 mm (width) x 127 mm (depth), housed in an IP65 rated ABS enclosure. This makes it resistant to dust and water ingress, suitable for challenging industrial environments. The ABS insulating body enhances operator safety by preventing electrical shocks during handling or installation.

Colour-coded ON and OFF switches allow quick and safe operation, while the modular build facilitates easy integration with overload relays, thereby providing reliable motor protection and extending equipment life. Weighing approximately 820 grams, it combines portability with industrial toughness.

The product adheres to international safety and performance standards, including EN 60529, IEC 60947-1, and IEC 60529, ensuring compliance with global industrial automation requirements. It operates at a maximum voltage rating of 400V AC which is suitable for most low-voltage motor applications.

Typical usage scenarios for this DOL starter include machine tools which require straightforward motor starting solutions, medical equipment requiring reliable electrical components, and centrifugal pumps which demand consistent and safe motor control. The direct on line starter applies full line voltage at motor start, distinguishing it from star-delta starters that use reduced voltage during start-up for larger motors.

Designed for use with small appliances causing minimal voltage dip during start-up. Compact dimensions of 230 mm length, 106 mm width, and 127 mm depth optimize installation space. Equipped with an IP65 rated ABS insulating housing for safe handling and durability.

Colour-coded switches simplify identification of ON/OFF positions. Modular design enables easy integration with overload relays for enhanced motor protection. Voltage rating up to 400V ac supports low voltage industrial motors.

Lightweight design at approximately 820 grams improves ease of handling and setup. Complies with international standards EN 60529, IEC 60947-1, and IEC 60529 ensuring reliable performance. Ideal for applications such as machine tools, medical equipment, and centrifugal pumps.
