CONTACTRON motor manager now available with Ex approval


With Ex approvals EEx II(2)G and EEx II(2)D, the CONTACTRON motor manager is ready for use in the chemical process industry as well as for water and waste water applications in which electric motors and motor-driven pumps are used.
The motor manager can now also be used in Ex environments.

Example of use: pumping station


In water and waste water applications, the motor manager protects pumps from running dry and prevents blocked filters

For example, the motor manager provides protection against hazardous dry running of pumps by setting a lower performance threshold. In the event of dry running, this state is detected and a signal is output for forced shutdown of the drive.

By individually setting additional thresholds in the upper performance range, blocked filters or blockages caused by foreign objects can be detected and indicated to the control center. Here the incoming signal automatically initiates forced shutdown of the pump, if necessary.

The electronic motor manager therefore provides complete system protection without additional sensors, such as flow and pressure measuring devices.




CONTACTRON motor manager: motor and system protection

In addition to complete motor protection via thermistor monitoring and current measurement, the CONTACTRON motor manager offers all the advantages of a modern real power monitoring solution.

The motor manager supports the free parameterization of switching and signaling thresholds for overload and underload - according to the real power of your system.

This means that you can make more accurate statements as to the state of the overall system than merely taking the current into consideration.
