CONTACTRON hybrid motor starter technology combines wear-free solid-state technology and robust relay technology.
The microprocessor-controlled combination enables gentle switching, considerably reducing the load on the relay contacts.
This means that the service life of hybrid motor starters is up to ten times longer than that of purely mechanical switchgear.
Motor managers from Phoenix Contact monitor motors for overload and underload, function, dirt, and wear.
You can therefore provide permanent protection for pumps, actuating drives, fans, and machine tools, for example.
Couple several EMM electronic motor management modules to PROFIBUS. All connected motor managers are configured via the user-friendly FDT/DTM software.
The motor reversing starter with IP54 protection combines simple motor control with rugged housing. Motor reversing starters in rugged housing have proved successful in
numerous applications:
- Conveying technology
- Beverages industry
- Food industry
For connection to controllers, use the versions available for various bus systems:
- INTERBUS for copper and fiber optic transmission
- PROFIBUS for copper transmission
- PROFINET for copper and fiber optic transmission
Wide range of functions
You can control direct drives using single and two-channel motor starters. In addition, a reversing load version is available for applications with different directions.
Additional features:
- 400 V AC/20 A power networking
- Nominal output power up to 3.7 kW
- Additional maintenance switch
Error-free switching in the power supply network: solid-state contactors from Phoenix Contact only switch in zero crossing mode. This means that no high-frequency disturbing pulses are generated. In addition:
- Easy control – with versions with 24 V DC or 230 V AC input voltage.
- Integrated locking circuit and load wiring.
- In the event that the module overheats, an optional thermal fuse shuts it down.
