Sync-Rite Plus™ System - Standard Components

Sync-Rite Plus™

Industry leading synchronous motor starting control, now with the added benefits of data logging and
wireless streaming technology.
Sync-Rite Plus™ Benefits
JJ Reliably synchronizes any brushless synchronous

motor.
JJ Interchangeable with all legacy Sync-Rite™ models.

JJ Monitors and records the following:

JJ Field Voltage

JJ Field Current

(with Sync-Rite Plus™ Current Sensor)

JJ FDR status (in or out of circuit)

JJ Firing of SCR-1

JJ Customizable control settings allow controller to be

optimized for various motors and loads.

JJ Slip sync speeds from 90% to 99.5%

Sync-Rite Plus™ JJ Zero slip sync times from 2 to 5.5 seconds

JJ Wireless transceiver for streaming data and

downloading data records without shutting the

machine down.
JJ USB port allows data to be gathered from the

machine during outages when the machine is

not running.
JJ Starting Records provide an invaluable tool for solving

synchronization issues should they occur.

JJ Average Records track changes in the operating

conditions of the machine to identify issues early,

and allows users to take corrective actions before
the issues become serious.
JJ Original Sync-Rite™ Control’s green and red indicators

and a new blue indicator that gives positive

Sync-Rite Plus™ Filter confirmation that the motor has been synchronized.

Sync-Rite Plus™ Current Sensor

The Sync-Rite Plus™ Current Sensor works with the Sync-Rite Plus™ to measure and record a
synchronous motor’s field current.

Sync-Rite Plus™ Current Sensor Benefits

The ability to measure and record a synchronous
motor’s field current greatly increases the diagnostic
capabilities of the Sync-Rite Plus™ System.

Protect Field Windings

Calculation of rotor winding temperature from the
field current and resistance. With this temperature
calculation, it’s possible to detect problems such as
clogged filters or dirty windings. This prevents
serious failures such as failed field windings, and
Sync-Rite Plus™ Current Sensor
helps with planning outages for maintenance.

Detect Failed SCRs and Controller

Recording field current during starting makes it easy
to detect failed components.

Identify Loading Issues during Starts

Recording field current during starting also allows
loading issues during starting to be quickly identified
and corrected. This leads to fewer start attempts and
reduced downtime.

Installed Sync-Rite Plus™ Current Sensor

Example where a Sync-Rite Plus™ & Current Sensor were used to monitor a competitor’s controller. The current wave-
form above clearly shows the point at which the controller incorrectly stopped gating the SCR, causing major issues.
