Phoenix Contact hybrid motor starters

Click2Contact

Phoenix Contact hybrid motor starters utilise Contactron switching technology that enables smooth switching and relieves the load on relay contacts. Hybrid motor starters therefore last up to 10 times longer than purely mechanical switching devices.

For motors of up to 4 kW on 22.5 mm, the hybrid motor starter brings together all of the functions of a classical reversing contactor circuit, including safety functions, into one device. Internal load and locking circuits minimise wiring costs by up to 75%.

The efficient wiring design continues with the connection of the motor starter to the SmartWire DT communication system. This practically eliminates complex parallel cabling at the control and signal levels for larger systems with a high number of consumers. Hybrid motor starters, as well as command and reporting devices, are easily and clearly connected with SmartWire DT and can also be integrated into fieldbus systems by means of a gateway.

There is also a model of the hybrid motor starter with integrated fuses that fulfils Classification Type 2 according to IEC/EN 60947-3-4. In the event of a short circuit, users can swap out the fuses and the hybrid motor starter is ready to go again.
