With lots of corrosives and organic solvents in the plant, we have frequent trouble with start/stop buttons sticking in. If a start button sticks in the depressed position, this causes two problems: First, pressing the stop button will only stop the motor while the stop button is depressed. When the button is released, the motor will restart. Second, if the power is turned off to a motor and the start button is stuck, the motor will restart as soon as power is reapplied. Whenever I think about this, I'm really quite shocked that major
manufactures allow such a basic safety flaw out of their doors. I'm sure there are dozens of ways to fix this problem using different types of
electronic push buttons, additional logic etc.. But I would really like to standardize on a starter that doesn't have this problem. Is there a motor starter available that will start only on an off/on transition of the start button?
