Facing Power Trips? Use a Sequence Controller from Maniks
Unexpected power trips in industrial panels are more than just an inconvenience, they cause production downtime, equipment stress, and unnecessary maintenance costs. If your facility runs multiple motors, heaters, compressors, or high-load devices that start simultaneously, the root cause is often inrush current overload. The solution? A sequence controller also known as a sequential timer or sequential timer controller designed specifically to manage controlled, step-by-step power startup.
At Maniks, our solid-state sequential controllers are engineered to eliminate power trips and protect critical industrial systems.
Why Do Industrial Panels Face Frequent Power Trips?
When multiple loads start at the same time:
- Sudden high inrush current occurs
- MCBs, MCCBs, or contactors trip
- Voltage drops affect sensitive equipment
- Panels overheat and components wear faster
This is common in industries using:
- Multiple motors
- Pumps and compressors
- HVAC systems
- Conveyors and processing lines
Without proper load sequencing, even a well-designed panel can fail repeatedly.
What Is a Sequence Controller?
A sequence controller is an intelligent control device that switches ON multiple electrical loads one after another with predefined time delays, instead of starting all at once.
Also referred to as:
- Sequential timer
- Sequential timer controller
- Sequential controller
…it ensures smooth, controlled power distribution across all connected loads.
How a Sequential Timer Prevents Power Trips
1. Controlled Load Startup
A sequential timer controller allows each load to start only after the previous one has stabilized. This dramatically reduces peak current demand and prevents breaker tripping.
2. Reduced Inrush Current Stress
Motors and inductive loads draw maximum current during startup. A sequence controller spreads this demand over time, protecting:
- Power supply
- Contactors
- Cables
- Control components
3. Improved Panel Reliability
With fewer power trips, panels operate more reliably, reducing:
- Emergency shutdowns
- Maintenance calls
- Component replacements
This directly improves plant uptime.
Why Solid-State Sequential Controllers Are Better
Traditional relay-based systems wear out over time. A solid-state sequential controller from Maniks offers:
- No moving parts
- Faster response time
- High accuracy timing
- Longer operational life
This makes it ideal for continuous industrial operations.
Applications of Sequential Controllers in Industry
A sequence controller is widely used in:
- Motor control panels
- Pump and compressor systems
- HVAC & chiller plants
- Conveyor and material handling systems
- Process automation panels
Anywhere multiple loads must start safely, a sequential controller becomes essential.

The Missing Link in Your Industrial Panel
If your panel still faces frequent trips, voltage dips, or startup failures, the issue may not be wiring or load size; it’s the lack of proper sequencing.
A sequential timer or sequence controller is not an optional add-on anymore; it’s a critical safety and performance component for modern industrial panels.
