Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
Soft Starters: Models such as VersiStart II, VersiStart III, and VersiStart p II plus series. These provide compact, efficient, and robust solutions for smooth motor starting and stopping, suitable for motors ranging from 3.5A to 600 kW. The 2-phase controlled soft starter VersiStart II plus, for example, is a robust and efficient device with a high maximum switching frequency, ideal for motors from 6A to 105A.SoftStarters:ModelssuchasVersiStartII,VersiStartIII,andVersiStartpIIplusseries.Theseprovidecompact,efficient,androbustsolutionsforsmoothmotorstartingandstopping,suitableformotorsrangingfrom3.5Ato600kW.The2-phasecontrolledsoftstarterVersiStartIIplus,forexample,isarobustandefficientdevicewithahighmaximumswitchingfrequency,idealformotorsfrom6Ato105A.
DC Brakes: Including VersiBrake Safe, VersiBrake Safe LP, and MS3 series. These devices offer maximum control and safety for gentle shutdowns, suitable for equipment protection in the 72A to 360A range. The VersiBrake Safe LP 480-60 PL c features TÜV-certified standstill detection and intelligent brake optimization. Key features include DC braking with half-wave rectification, microcontroller control, suitability for all asynchronous motors, and wear-free, maintenance-free operation.DCBrakes:IncludingVersiBrakeSafe,VersiBrakeSafeLP,andMS3series.Thesedevicesoffermaximumcontrolandsafetyforgentleshutdowns,suitableforequipmentprotectioninthe72Ato360Arange.TheVersiBrakeSafeLP480-60PLcfeaturesTÜV-certifiedstandstilldetectionandintelligentbrakeoptimization.KeyfeaturesincludeDCbrakingwithhalf-waverectification,microcontrollercontrol,suitabilityforallasynchronousmotors,andwear-free,maintenance-freeoperation.
Combined Motor Start and Braking Devices: Such as the VersiComb II Safe series. These units meet IE3 motor efficiency standards and incorporate safety functions (Category 2, PL c, SIL 1). They combine a two-phase controlled soft starter with an integrated DC braking device, featuring a bypass relay, reduction of starting current peaks, integrated standstill detection, and deceleration time monitoring.CombinedMotorStartandBrakingDevices:SuchastheVersiCombIISafeseries.TheseunitsmeetIE3motorefficiencystandardsandincorporatesafetyfunctions(Category2,PLc,SIL1).Theycombineatwo-phasecontrolledsoftstarterwithanintegratedDCbrakingdevice,featuringabypassrelay,reductionofstartingcurrentpeaks,integratedstandstilldetection,anddecelerationtimemonitoring.
