TORQ-MASTER 2K SOFT STARTER – has been in production for the past 5 years and had had several updates in both software and hardware, although the outward appearance has not changed.

We expect the TQM2K soft starter to continue in the present format for at least another year and will be available for spares for several years after that.

PETER ELECTRONIC UNITS – from our Economy Range – sold at 1200kw this year and represents a considerable increase from previous years.

DC INJECTION BRAKE UNITS - sold over 1000kw of braking units – a marked increase in our sales.

INVERTERS - Our sales of inverters from our partners Vacon & Hitachi have continued to grow but is mainly centred on project work rather than just ‘box shifting’

The service & repair side of our business is still very healthy and we continue to give quick & efficient answers to customer requests for technical advice & backup.

DEVELOPMENT

Ralspeed as a company is developing a new soft starter with a graphics screen instead of a 2 line LCD screen that we have at present. There will also be some significant software changes to make the unit easier to program without a manual. However, this is in the future and this is a good time to remind all our customers out there of the superb features on the TQM2K unit. The event log has now been improved to give the user a clearer history of events. The event log can be downloaded to a laptop or notebook computer and can be seen as the following example

The user can then see how many starts, faults, power-ups, emergency stops etc have occurred and this may point to more serious pending faults or that the motor is working harder than it should.
