Frick Motor Plus Advantage

The FRICK MOTORPLUS PACKAGE is an integrated motor/starter combination

designed specifically for use with FRICK refrigeration screw compressors.
The package incorporates a number of features not found in commercially aailable motor starter packages.
These features provide outstanding value, efficiency, and reliability through the use of correctly matched qual
ity components, stateoftheart electronic protection devices, and all the required compressor interfaces.
A summary of the many exclusive benefits is given below:
