The Contactron ELR-H3 and ELR-H5 hybrid motor starter family now includes push-in connection technology (PT). This technology can reduce insertion forces as much as 50% and requires no tools for installation. It has five times the IEC requirement for pull-out force, ensuring a secure connection even in high-vibration environments. The PT versions can provide a mixture of forward and reverse motor operations, adjustable overloads and an emergency-stop function. When optioned properly, one motor starter can provide as many as four motor control functions in a single unit, while also providing a safety solution up to SIL 3 PLe.
