The MOTUS®C14 electronic motor starter sets new standards when it comes to the safety of machines and systems: Fuseless short-circuit protection that switches off the machine or system 100 to 1000 times faster in the event of a fault than a conventional fuse-link or a circuit breaker and allows it to be switched back on afterwards. The extremely fast short-circuit handling is enabled by the revolutionary C14 technology with which Wöhner is for the first time pursuing an electronic solution for a motor starter. In addition, the new MOTUS®C14 convinces with space savings, integrated communication and measurement technology as well as an interactive, intuitive operating concept. Among the various application scenarios for the MOTUS®C14 are now also the 1-phase switching of motors (either one 3-phase motor or up to three 1-phase motors). Lightning fast Extremely fast short-circuit handling: In the event of an error, shutdown occurs in 10 microseconds. The MOTUS®C14 thus reacts more quickly than any fuse – and does so with minimal let-through energy. Intelligent The MOTUS®C14 opens extensive possible uses of communication and measurement data to users, from readable service, measurement technology and maintenance data to diagnostic data about motor and busbar to self-diagnosis of the device and data-logging functions. The simple parametrization and an intuitive, interactive operating concept round out the intelligent functions of the MOTUS®C14. Intrinsically safe Due to the extremely fast shutdown in the event of a short circuit and the associated low I2t value, the device is loaded only minimally.
