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.
