Performance Features Overview Electronic motor starter RAMO 4.0 Technical highlights T he new motor starter of the RAMO 4.0 series provides electronic direct-on-line and reversing start of three-phase motors in manual and automatic operation. The electronic overload protection can be set with a DIP switch. Full motor protection is achieved in conjunction with temperature sensor evaluation. The variants with an integrated manual override switch allow fast and safe current interruption for diagnostics and maintenance work on the motor. E xternal switchgear, e. g. solenoid valves, can be controlled directly via the optional actuator output (24 VDC). A further option is the integrated, electronic brake control for motor brakes. Product features Common frame sizes for power ratings from 0.3 to 3.0 kW (at 400 V, 50/60 Hz). New, square enclosure concept for maximum flexibility on site. Cable connections from the left, right or bottom are possible – with the same fixing holes for the device. Increased service life of up to 10 million switching operations. Up to 3000 switching cycles per hour at 2.2 kW. Operating and ambient temperature up to +55°C, without derating. High degree of protection IP 65. Frequency controlled motor starter RASP 4.0 Technical highlights T he new RASP 4.0 series supports any speeds with variable acceleration and braking ramps via the integrated frequency inverter module. I t is thus ideal for demanding conveying engineering applications in distribution logistics, at airports and the packaging industry. C yclic program sequences can be programmed with fixed frequencies and they can be stored in the module, reducing the load on the PLC. Product features Common frame sizes for power ratings up to 2.2 kW (at 400 V, 50/60 Hz). Performance classes available with 0.75 kW, 1.1 kW, 1.5 kW and 2.2 kW. New, square enclosure concept for maximum flexibility on site. Cable connections from the left, right or bottom are possible – without modifying the fixing of the device. Frequency-controlled motor speeds from 0 to max. 320 Hz. Electronic motor protection with adjustment ranges. Monitoring of thermistor and motor cable. Operating and ambient temperature up to +40°C, without derating. High degree of protection IP 65. Optional external fan unit for extended temperature range up to +55°C, without derating.
