Gefran – an Italian multinational specialized in the design and production of sensors, instrumentation for industrial process control, and automation systems – is launching the new modular series of motor starters, G-Start, designed for controlling single and three-phase asynchronous motors up to 3KW, 7A, and 500Vac.
Available in three current sizes (0.6A, 2.4A, and 7.0A), the range is characterized by particularly compact dimensions and integrates, in a single device, four specific functionalities: direct motor starting, direction reversal, thermal protection, and motor diagnosis (up to SIL3 and PL”e” certified emergency stop), ensuring a high level of functional safety.
To ensure proper motor operation, there is an overload protection function available, configurable for both automatic and manual reset. The practical front rotary switch also allows for easy, fast, and precise setting of the motor’s rated current value. Finally, motor diagnostics are simplified, thanks to the 4 front status LEDs, two digital outputs for indicating the direction of rotation, and one digital alarm output.
The use of the new Gefran devices is aimed at optimizing motor control and ensuring operational safety in industrial settings.
Gefran’s new devices are employed in various fields such as loading hoppers, compressors, mixers/agitators, industrial pumps and centrifuges, tubular conveyors, blowers and industrial fans, as well as crushers and machinery for oil extraction. Thanks to the direction reversal capabilities, they also meet the need to manage movement in both directions, as in the case of industrial shutters and conveyor belts.
Gefran’s G-Start motor starters series represents an excellent solution for enhancing productivity and efficiency in industrial processes. By combining advanced functionalities, compact dimensions, and ease of installation, they ensure greater safety with the certified SIL3 and PL”e” Emergency Stop function.
