Load switching

Electric motors are used in a variety of industrial applications for controlling movements . Motors are often started and reversed using classic , mechanical protective circuits . However , these require a great deal of space as well as a lot of wiring effort , and have a limited service life . Costly sensor technology is often required to collect important motor and process data . COMPLETE line provides innovative and intelligent products for your application .
CONTACTRON hybrid technology
CONTACTRON hybrid technology is a microprocessorcontrolled combination of wear-free solid-state technology and robust relay technology . The semiconductors execute the wear-prone on and off switching procedures , while the relays only conduct low-loss current . This enables soft switching and considerably reduces the load on the relay contacts .
