Load switching The COMPLETE line system provides high-quality solutions for load switching and monitoring. Compact and practically wear-free motor starters can switch loads over a much longer service life than electromechanical versions. Moreover, they can be be integrated into safety concepts and communication networks. They switch motors and other loads reliably and safely (Example 1). This advanced technology also enables the acquisition of performance data. Here, the ability to detect over- and underload states enables preventive maintenance and the avoidance of mechanical damage to the loads (Example 2). The machine manager also reliably monitors high-performance consumers and transmits key parameters to higher-level networks (Example 3).
