Motor Controls

Definite Purpose Contactors

Definite purpose contactors are designed for application-specific use, such as HVAC or compressors, providing reliable load control that can handle diverse switching needs. These compact contactors are available in up to 60A capacities, in 1- or 3-phase configurations, and with coil voltages from 120 to 480 VAC.

Motor Disconnects & Controllers

Manual motor controllers and disconnects safely control and disconnect power from motors. UL 508 rated open frame and enclosed devices are available from reliable brands including Bryant, Merz, and Socomec.

Motor Control Relays

Newest Additions!

• PMRU-2C series true RMS monitor relays

Motor control relays perform protective functions for motors and components to ensure proper and efficient operation.

• Phase monitoring relays detect faults in a 3-phase system
• Alternating relays balance load usage
• Pump seal failure relays monitor pump shaft seals

AC Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

Newest Additions!

• DURApulse GS10 series AC drives

A wide range of AC variable frequency drives (VFD) is available for motor speed control and other industrial control applications.

• Micro variable frequency drives (VFD) enable speed control for AC motors at an affordable price in a compact footprint.
  • The DURApulse GS10 series offers high quality and abundant features at our lowest price point
  • WEG CFW100 drives offer high performance and compact size with built-in HMI and PLC
• General purpose variable frequency drives enable speed control for AC motors such as those in conveyors, fans, pumps and material handling.
  • WEG CFW300 AC drives offer high performance and ease-of-use with built-in HMI operator interface and SoftPLC
  • DURApulse GS20 high-performance vector control drives provide many standard and advanced functions, all in a compact unit
• High-performance AC drives offer advanced features such as STO, closed-loop vector control and a built-in logic controller.
  • WEG CFW500 high-performance drives support closed-loop flux vector control and torque control modes
  • DURApulse GS4 series sensorless vector AC drives handle applications up to 300hp
• NEMA 4X-rated WEG CFW500, DURApulse GS20X and IronHorse ACN series drives are suitable for washdown-duty applications. They offer V/Hz, sensorless vector or field oriented vector control up to 30hp.

AC Motor Soft Starters

Solid state soft starters provide many advantages when used instead of electro-mechanical contactors, including reduced shock and starting stress on motors, resulting in an extended motor lifespan.

• Compact WEG SSW05 and Stellar SR22 series offer a reduced footprint for solid state motor control in ratings up to 85A (depending on series). SR22 starters are available for 1- or 3-phase motors.
• Basic WEG SSW07 and Stellar SR35 series provide dependable performance on motor starts and stops, in ratings up to 412A (depending on series) and a selection of trip classes
• Full-featured Stellar SR55 series starters are fully digital, and use thyristors in all three motor phases for controlled reduced voltage motor starting and stopping; available in ratings up to 477A, and AC or DC control voltages

DC Drives

IronHorse DC drives can accommodate from 1/50hp @ 12VDC out (with 12VDC in) up to 3hp @ 180VDC out (with 240VAC in). DC motors and drives can provide several advantages:

• Inexpensive
• Low speed performance
• Low speed power
• Simple
  • DC drives typically use potentiometers for configuration
  • No parameters or programming needed (for most models)
  • Feature-rich (some models include communications)
  • Default programming handles most applications
