How To:
Compact Hybrid Motor Starters can provide motor on/off switching, direct and reversing control, over-load protection and safety all contained in a 22.5 x 100 mm device. They can be used in many industrial applications such as pumps, fans, hoists, machine tool, production machines and conveyor technology.
Depending on its function, the compact hybrid motor starter’s footprint can offer a space savings of up to 86% when compared to conventional motor starters, especially when fail safe functionality is a requirement.
The following motor horse power ratings are currently available for direct and forwarded / reversing applications
The wide range of over-load settings offer outstanding flexibility in terms of planning, commissioning and redesign. All motor starters are available with the following externally adjustable trip set-points:
With the addition of a safety relay you can achieve safe shut-down for a group of motors by connecting the relay output to the device connector achieving simultaneous shut down of all motors for failsafe system safety.
The Compact Motor Starters are available in standard or safety versions that are rated for SIL 3, PLe, Cat 4 and are ATEX certified for motors in explosion proof locations where explosive dusts and gases are present.
