United States Energy Corporation's high quality products are the result of over 40 years of innovative design and field experience.  They manufacture a full line of Diesel Engine & Gas Turbine, electric AC, DC, & Hydraulic driven starters and systems, in addition to DC Alternators and motors. 

Models are available in Explosion Proof configurations for hazardous environments.

Rugged construction assures years of trouble free service.  Their compact design provides easy interchangability with your existing engine starters.

Sizes up to 35 Horsepower, plus dual starter applications.

Explosion Proof starters are available for most Genset & Pump engines.

Battery & Charger Eliminator:
Co-Generation & Prime-Power facilities use AC Starters to reduce the reoccurring maintenance on batteries.

Have a Data Center: 
Start your Generator Set from your UPS System using 480 VAC starters, or even as a secondary safety system should the DC battery or charging system experience a catastrophic failure.

Used and approved throughout the world on Gas Turbine and Diesel Engines

Advantages of US Energy AC Starters over Air & Hydraulic Systems...

Economical:  AC three (3) Phase starters allow lower overall installation costs when compared to non-electrical systems.  There is no need for expensive air tanks, accumulators, fittings, pumps, air compressors, etc. required by air and hydraulic systems.  If the compressed air is produced by an electric motor, this added operational cost of electricity must be factored in.  Compact and easily interchanged with existing engine factory supplied starters.

Less bulky:  Electric starter motors are generally heavier than air and hydraulic Motors of equal horse power, however, they do not require the bulky support systems such as air tanks, compressors, pumps valves, and fittings found in these systems.

Service & Maintenance:  AC three (3) Phase starter motors are virtually maintenance free.  There are no brushes to wear out and the bearings are sealed and do not require lubrication.  Should repair be required, some minor repairs can be performed in the field; others may require sending the unit to the factory or an experienced motor repair shop.  Rugged construction assures years of trouble free service.

Multitude of available Voltages: Single (1) Phase 110/220 VAC (50 or 60 HZ), or Three (3) Phase from 208 to 480 VAC (50 or 60 HZ).  Even 12, 24, 50, 64, or 125 Volt DC.
