IEC Electric Motor Controls

As industrial control systems become more compact and the need for more cost-competitive electric motor control options arise, an IEC motor controller is the answer. Complying with the stringent International Electrotechnic Commission (IEC) 60947 standards, our IEC motor control series of motor contactors and motor starters offer convenience and cost-effectiveness in one package.

AutomationDirect also offers motor monitoring relays and manual motor controllers (MMCs) which are suitable for use as a motor disconnect.

	Bryant Manual Motor Controllers/ Motor Disconnects Bryant has designed a compact motor controller that will also meet the rigorous demands of a motor disconnect. Bryant�s motor controllers are listed as "Suitable as Motor Disconnect" under UL Standard 508 � Industrial Control Equipment � qualifying them to perform both operations in one compact package. By utilizing Bryant�s compact motor controllers and motor disconnects, you benefit through the convenience of one device fulfilling two needs. AutomationDirect offers three versions of manual motor controllers (MMCs) and industrial motor disconnects: Toggle Switch AC Motor Controllers Enclosed Toggle Switch AC Motor Controllers Enclosed NEMA 4X Rotary Switch AC Motor Controllers Manual motor controllers/motor disconnects start at *$21.50*

	ProSense Motor Control Relays AutomationDirect offers three types of monitor relays for electric motor control: Phase monitor relays provide protection against premature equipment failure caused by voltage faults on 3-Phase systems. All ProSense 3 phase monitor relays are designed to be compatible with typical Wye or Delta systems. Phase monitoring relays protect against single phasing regardless of any regenerative voltages. Alternating relays are used for motor load control in special applications where the optimization of load usage is required by equalizing the run time of two loads. The alternating action is initiated by a control switch, such as a float switch, manual switch, timing delay, pressure switch, or other isolated contact. Each time the initiating switch is opened, the output relay contacts will change state, thus alternating the two loads. Pump failure relays are designed to monitor the shaft seals of submersible pumps. A resistive-measuring probe provided by the pump manufacturer is installed in the pump seal cavity. If the pump seal starts to leak, contaminating fluid enters the seal cavity, lowering the resistance between the internal probe and the common connection. When the resistance drops below the user-adjustable sensitivity setpoint of the relay, the output relay energizes. ProSense motor control relays start at *$21.00*

	Fuji Motor Contactors and Overload Relays AutomationDirect has cooperated with Fuji Electric to offer a complete line of IEC electric motor controls. The DUO Series (SC-E contactors and TK-E overloads) is fully integrated so multiple motor speed controller solutions are possible with a minimum number of components. The conventional motor starters in the DUO line can accommodate electric motors up to 100 horsepower at 480 VAC. The larger motor contactors feature the SUPERMAGNET� coil for greater reliability and positive pick-up and drop-out. Now available ... 440-480 VAC and 500-550 VAC coil voltages. The Odyssey Series of contactors and overload relays also features the SUPERMAGNET� coil and come in sizes up to 361 A, AC-3 operation (300 horsepower at 480 VAC). Odyssey Series contactors are available in four sizes with overload relays to match any motor to 300 horsepower. Now available ... 380-450 VAC and 460-575 VAC coil voltages. Both the DUO and Odyssey lines are available in 24 VAC, 24 VDC, 120 VAC, 240 VAC, 380-575 VAC. The motor contactors are rated up to 690 VAC, 3-phase. Fuji contactors start at *$13.75*

	Fuji Manual Motor Starters The Fuji Electric Duo Series Manual Motor Starter is a protective device for electric motor use that provides optimal protection by integrating the functions of a molded case circuit breaker and thermal overload relay into a compact unit. Since Fuji�s MMS is UL listed for Category E self-protected motor control, it can be used for motor branch circuit protection without the need for additional protection such as fuses or molded case circuit breakers. The Manual Motor Starter (MMS) is available in a 32A version with a 45mm frame width, and a 63A version with a 55 mm frame width. Both MMS versions have high breaking capacities, up to 100,000A in some ranges. A wide range of accessories is available, including shunt trips and undervoltage releases. Fuji manual motor starters are priced from *$46.00*

	Eaton Corp. Cutler-Hammer Contactors / Motor Starters / Overload Relays Eaton Corporation�s Freedom series of IEC contactors feature a compact space saving design. Components that meet IEC 60947 are more reliable, of higher quality, and are better matched to their intended application. The Eaton Corp. CE15 Freedom Series IEC contactors offer big contactor ratings in a compact frame. The 45 mm frame contactors can handle up to 20 hp at 460V. They are easily DIN-rail mountable in either the vertical or horizontal upright position. The Eaton Corp. AE16 Series IEC starters are full voltage magnetic starters used for starting polyphase induction motors. These motor starters also provide protection to the motor against running or stalled overcurrents. The 45mm frame starters can handle up to 20 hp at 460V. They are easily DIN-rail mountable in either the vertical or horizontal upright position. Motor starters are comprised of a contactor, overload relay and heater packs. The overload relays have FLA adjustable dials. Eaton Corp./Cutler-Hammer contactors start at *$99.00* (Eaton Corp. Cutler-Hammer parts are available for sale in North America only)

	GH Series Contactors / Motor Starters / Overload Relays The GH series of IEC contactors and bimetallic overload relays are manufactured by Europe�s leading maritime contactor company. Motor contactors for ocean-going vessels are built to the most rigid specifications. This same design technology carries over to this line of industrial electric motor controls. We offer individual components that allow you to use the contactor alone or to assemble your motor starter using our thermal overload relays. You can also combine a manual motor starter/protector for all-in-one protection. Use contactors wherever you need a heavy-duty switching device with up to three poles. Add up to eight auxiliary contact blocks for interlocks and feedback. Or, use the optional mechanical interlock to create an inexpensive reversing contactor. GH Series contactors start at *$44.00*

	AC Drives VFDs - Variable Frequency Drives (1/4 hp to 100 hp) AutomationDirect carries a range of AC variable frequency drives (VFD) for motor speed control and other industrial control applications.
