The M100 Electronic Motor Starter allows zero stacking up to 55°C without derating, ensuring flexible installation.
Rockwell Automation, Inc. has launched the M100 Electronic Motor Starter, designed to streamline panel wiring and reduce component and engineering complexity while providing motor starting and safety functions.
Rockwell’s traditional motor starters provide a basis for customizable motor control solutions, including starting, stopping, and protecting motors. The new M100 Electronic Motor Starter integrates with motor control systems, helping to maintain system efficiency. It is a compact and cost-efficient option with various features suited for multiple applications. Notably, the M100 incorporates point-on-wave (POW) switching technology.
The new M100 Electronic Motor Starter offers zero stacking with no derating up to 55C, providing flexibility in installation without compromising performance. Removable terminal blocks, available in both screw and push-in variants, add convenience and adaptability. The M100 also supports direct-on-line (DOL), reversing, and safety capabilities in the same form factor, showcasing its flexibility in various operational scenarios.
Embedded features such as electronic overload protection, phase loss detection, phase imbalance monitoring, and weld detection contribute to a comprehensive safety net, making the M100 an invaluable asset in critical operations. Additionally, with the growing importance of functional safety for end users, the M100 represents an expansion in the motor starting portfolio to now include SIL3 certified models, providing added peace of mind and compliance with high safety standards.
