With its latest ranges of compact yet versatile timing relays, Moeller Electric now offers convenient and cost-effective timer options covering virtually every control panel and power distribution application.

Special features of the Moeller Electric timer family include models for operation direct from 400V supplies, which are ideal for use in three-phase systems where no neutral is available, models with remote adjustment facilities, and ultra-compact versions just 17.5mm wide, which save valuable space in distribution boards.

Featuring the same design and dimensions as the popular DILEM contactors, DILET timers are well suited for control panel applications. They are available in three types, the DILET 11-30 which is an economical option where an on delay of between 1.5 and 30s is required; the DILET 11-M which also offers an on-delay function, but has ten timing ranges covering 0.5 seconds to 60 hours; and the DILET 70 multi-function relay which offers a choice of eight timing functions as well as the option of adjusting the setting with a remote potentiometer.

DILET timers can be supplied in universal versions for use with AC and DC supplies anywhere in the range 24V to 240V, and for 400V AC operation.

For applications where maximum versatility is required from a compact timing relay, Moeller Electric offers the ETR4 range. Just 22.5mm wide, these DIN-rail mounting units cover times of 0.05s to 100h in ten ranges, and offer a choice of different timing functions. The range offers a basic on-delayed timer, a star-delta timing relay and two multi-function relays, ETR4-69 and ETR4-70 offering eight timing functions. The ETR4-69 has a single changeover output contact, while the ETR4-70 has two changeover contacts and also allows the connection of a potentiometer for remote adjustment.

Both the ETR4-69 and ETR4-70 have an opto-isolated input to allow timing to be initiated from almost any kind of external circuit, and both incorporate LEDs that give a clear indication of current status.

Moeller Electric’s ultra-compact ETR2 timing relays have been specifically designed for use in distribution boards, and are the same size as most miniature circuit breakers. In spite of their small dimensions, they offer a timing range from 0.05s to 100h, and are available in six different versions, including a multi-function model. All ETR2 relays are suitable for use with AC and DC supplies in the range 24V to 240V.

To provide convenient cost-effective solutions for electrical distribution applications where a switched neutral is needed, Moeller Electric has expanded its popular and versatile range of xStart contactors to include new four-pole models. The new DILMP models cover AC1 current ratings from 22A to 200A in just four frame sizes, the new four-pole contactors feature identical dimensions for AC- and DC-operated versions, thereby simplifying panel design and construction.

Ideal for use in mains/standby changeover, heating control, and distribution systems for IT installations, xStart four-pole contactors, like their three pole counterparts, have specially designed low consumption coil assemblies.

Not only do these innovative coil systems reduce heating in the control panel and energy consumption, they also make it possible for contactors up to 45A to be controlled directly from inexpensive low current PLC outputs, thereby eliminating the need for inconvenient interposing relays or costly high-power output modules.

The use of the contactors with PLCs is further simplified by the integrated suppressor which is included as standard in all DC-operated versions.

The new contactors feature space-saving compact construction, are designed to make wiring fast and easy. Access to the coil terminals is at front-plate level and, for additional convenience and safety, double-chamber screw-clamp terminals are used throughout.

Moeller Electric offers a wide range of accessories for use with its new four-pole xStart contactors. These include mechanical interlocks for vertical and horizontal configurations, which need no additional space to be allowed between the contactors; auxiliary contacts in standard and early-make/late-break versions; suppressors for AC-operated types; and insulating shrouds.

To maximise user convenience, the new four-pole contactors use the same accessories as three-pole models in the xStart range.

Manufactured to the highest standards, xStart contactors are designed to provide maintenance-free operation for a mechanical life of at least 10 million operations. They comply with all relevant sections of IEC60947, as well as with appropriate UL and CSA requirements. In addition, they carry the CE marking.

Based on the latest xStart DILM contactors, which have mechanical lives in excess of ten million operations and are fitted with durable RMQ Titan pushbuttons, Moeller Electric’s new enclosed motor starters combine exceptional reliability with compact dimensions and very competitive pricing.

In addition, because the starters are designed and built in the UK, they fully address the specific needs of UK users, and excellent availability is guaranteed

Standard products in the new Moeller Electric enclosed motor starter range include direct-on-line types with ratings from 4kW to 11kW, direct-on-line reversing types with ratings of 4kW and 5.5kW and star-delta types with ratings from 5.5kW to 15kW. The starters are available in 230V and 400V versions for use on 50Hz supplies.

The starters come complete with or without an isolator and are supplied fully wired, requiring only the addition of an overload relay – which mounts directly on the contactor – to be ready for immediate use. All models are offered in insulating or stainless steel enclosures with an IP65 ingress protection rating, or in sheet-steel enclosures which have an IP55 rating.

Moeller Electric's new enclosed motor starters are designed to provide long maintenance-free service lives. Customised versions to meet requirements which are not covered by the standard models are available on fast deliveries and at attractive prices.

Just 17.5mm wide for single pole versions and 52.5mm wide for triple-pole types, Moeller Electric’s new Xpole FAZ miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) have a breaking capacity of 15kA, in line with IEC/EN6094. This makes them an attractive and cost-effective choice for use in industrial applications where space is always at a premium, and high prospective fault currents are often encountered.

In addition to the standard B, C and D trip characteristics, Moeller is offering Xpole FAZ MCBs with the new Z, K and S characteristics, which are of particular interest to OEMs and designers of automation systems.

Specifically designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment, the Z characteristic has a short-circuit response current of 2 to 3 In, combined with quick-reaction overload protection. The K characteristic has a short-circuit response current of 8 to 12 In, which prevents nuisance tripping with three-phase loads such as motors, while the S characteristic with its exceptionally high 13 to 17 In short-circuit response provides a complete solution to the problem of protecting control transformers and other loads with very high inrush currents.

Moeller Electric's new Xpole FAZ MCBs are available with ratings from 0.5A to 63A, and are offered in single-, double-, three- and four-pole versions. All types comply with a broad range of national and international standards, including UL and CSA, there is even a special series of devices which fully comply with UL489.

A range of accessories, which includes auxiliary signalling contacts and shunt-trip mechanisms, provides additional functionality. To ensure fast and easy assembly, most accessories simply snap into place without the need to use tools. The breakers themselves are designed for convenient mounting on standard DIN rail.

The new compact Xpole FAZ MCBs are complemented by an extensive family of RCCBs, combined RCD/MCBs (RCBOs) and control devices. The PKNM combined RCD/MCBs offer triple protection in a single device, namely overload, short-circuit and residual current protection in the space of only two MCB widths. Catering for either B or C characteristics, they are available from 6A to 40A with rated fault currents of 30mA or 300mA.

Xpole type AZ MCBs are also available for use in applications where current ratings up to 125A and a switching capacity greater than 15kA is needed.
