Your advantages

Robust construction
thanks to a full metal housing for installation directly in the field.

Extensive connections
optionally via terminals or a wide selection of plug-in connections. Quick, safe installation and easy device replacement.

No space problems
as the switching and protection function is fully integrated, saving switch cabinet space and cabling.

No addendum space required with the MOVI-SWITCH® motor starter

Are you looking for a particularly robust motor starter for your decentralised application? No problem. With the MOVI-SWITCH® motor starter for decentralisation up to 3 kW we have just the right product for you. Depending on the design, you can choose between a contactless star bridge switch MSW-1E/1EM or a contact-based switching element MSW-2S. Depending on the design, you also have two options for the direction of rotation: CW or CCW, depending on the phase sequence, or CW and CCW, independent of the phase sequence.

Our 3 MOVI-SWITCH®-designs are compact, robust and equipped with powerful features.

MOVI-SWITCH® is available in degree of protection IP54 and alternatively also in degrees of protection IP55, IP65 or IP66. Regardless of the environment: MOVI-SWITCH® is designed for ambient temperatures from -25 °C to +40 °C (...+60 °C).

Even use in applications with explosive dusts in accordance with Zone 22 is no problem. Our motor starter complies with equipment group II in category 3D in accordance with Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) and, from 20 April 2016, EU Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX).
