Motor starters

What are the functions and benefits of compact motor starters?

Compact motor starters, also known as compact starters combine the functions of main contactors and motor protection switches or electronic overload relays in a single device.

With their innovative hybrid switching technology, which goes hand in hand with optimised energy distribution, the compact starters guarantee efficient and durable motor switching.

The very narrow installed width allows a significant amount of space to be saved in the switch cabinet.

The additional benefits of compact motor starters include low wiring complexity and rapid commissioning.

Where are compact starters used?

Compact motor starters are used wherever motors need to be driven and space needs to be saved in the switch cabinet.

The space-saving motor starters can be found in the following locations for example:

• in plant engineering and mechanical systems
• in hydraulics technology
• in conveyor technology

3RM1 compact motor starters from Siemens online at Automation24

At Automation24 in the drive technology area you can purchase compact motor starters from Siemens from the SIRIUS 3RM1 series for small motors up to 3 kW. Depending on the application, these can replace up to four components within a switch cabinet. More specifically, the 22.5 mm wide motor starters can be used to save up to 75% switch cabinet space.

You have the choice between direct and reversing starters, different operating power levels and feed voltages as well as push-in or screw terminal technology.

As well as compact starters for standard applications, you will also find safe motor starters for safety applications.

If limited space is no problem, then alternatively you will also find soft starters and variable speed starters for driving small motors as well as compact starters for controlling larger motors within our range. If you need a wide range of configuration options instead, then variable frequency drives provide an excellent solution for you.

In addition, Automation24 also provides a suitable selection of items for speed monitoring
