What are safe motor starters?

Safety or fail-safe motor starters are mainly compact motor starters, which have had safety functions added. This allows them to combine redundant main contactors with electronic overload relays within one system, and are therefore also suitable for safety applications.

The other advantages remain unchanged, such as innovative hybrid switching technology, a very narrow design for reduced space requirements in switch cabinets, efficient energy distribution for durable switching of motors, reduced wiring effort by half as well as rapid deployment.

Which applications are fail-safe motor starters suitable for?

With their safety functions, safe motor starters are especially suitable for applications where safety technology plays a key role.

This can be the case for the same sectors where classic compact starters are also used, for example:

Hydraulics technology
Conveyor technology
and plant engineering and mechanical systems in general

Siemens motor starter 3RM1 with safety functions in the Automation24 online shop

If you wish to drive smaller motors up to 3 kW in safety applications up to PLe, fail-safe 3RM1 motor starters from Siemens provide suitable drive solutions for you.

In the category of safety drive technology Automation24 offers you a selection of reversing starters and direct starters in various power classes and feed voltages with screw terminals or push-in connections.

The 22.5 mm narrow fail-safe SIRIUS 3RM1 motor starter with Safety Integrated demonstrate that the topic of safety doesn't take up much space in the switch cabinet.

The 3RM1 safe motor starters can be combined simply without complex wiring using device connectors, and coupled to other SIRIUS Safety Integrated Systems, for example with safety relays of the 3SK1 SIRIUS series as well as with safety small controllers from the SIRIUS 3SK2 series.

If there is no lack of space in your switch cabinet, then variable-speed-starters and soft starters also offer you solutions for driving smaller motors. Compact starters in contrast can activate larger motors. If you are looking for a multitude of configuration options however, you should take a closer look at the SINAMICS variable frequency drives from the Automation24 portfolio.

You will also not need to look far for solutions for speed monitoring. Automation24 offers suitable equipment for monitoring your drives.
