Product example contactors
● Minimized holding and closing power.
–
The aspects of low power loss and further optimization of the holding and closing
power ratings played an important role in the development of SIRIUS contactors.
– SIRIUS contactors with electronically controlled coils support further reduction of the
holding power by up to 90%.
– All SIRIUS contactors can be used on the Chinese market, as they meet the Chinese
energy efficiency standard GB 21518-2008 for AC contactors in accordance with
"Grade 2". The contactors thus far exceed the minimum requirement ("Grade 3") and
are optimally equipped for the future.
Product example compact starters
● Only one switching point for minimized losses on the current path.
–
Thanks to the combined functions of a solid-state overload relay, a motor starter
protector, and a contactor in a single device, transfer resistances (switching points,
cable transitions, etc.) are reduced to a minimum.
Product example overload relays
● Electronics instead of bimetal for minimized intrinsic power loss.
–
In addition to a wide setting range of up to 1:10, the application of electronic sensors
and actuators facilitates intrinsic power loss reductions of more than 98%.
● Optimized thermal release (bimetal).
–
For devices with thermal overload relay, the power loss compared to predecessor
products is reduced by 5 to 10% thanks to the optimized bimetal release.
