Product Description

Phoenix Contact ELR H3-IES-SC-24DC/500AC-2 Hybrid Motor Starter

The Phoenix Contact ELR H3-IES-SC-24DC/500AC-2 Hybrid Motor Starter is a compact device engineered to control and protect 3-phase AC motors up to 500 V AC and 2.4 A. With a 24 V DC control voltage, built-in overload monitoring, and advanced emergency stop functionality meeting SIL 3 / PL e standards, it delivers both safety and reliability. Its slim 22.5 mm housing saves panel space while reducing wiring complexity. By combining multiple protective and control functions into one unit, it ensures long service life and high system availability for demanding industrial environments.

The ELR H3-IES-SC-24DC/500AC-2 merges switching, motor protection, and safety functions into a single hybrid solution, eliminating the need for separate contactors and overload relays. This integration results in quicker installation, reduced wear on components, and lower maintenance costs. Its design is optimized for space efficiency, making it especially valuable for compact control cabinets. Operators benefit from dependable motor startup, reliable emergency stop protection, and compliance with international safety standards. In real-world applications, it enhances machine uptime, reduces operational risk, and delivers measurable cost savings for industries where continuous performance is critical.

Why Phoenix Contact ELR H3-IES-SC-24DC/500AC-2?

Because it condenses motor control, overload protection, and emergency stop safety into a single, ultra-compact 22.5 mm device. Instead of juggling multiple components, engineers get a smart, space-saving hybrid solution that reduces wiring, cuts installation time, and extends service life—all while meeting strict global safety standards.

What Problem Does It Solve?

It eliminates the complexity and wear of traditional motor starters by replacing separate relays and contactors with one intelligent hybrid module. This not only minimizes panel space and wiring errors but also ensures safer, faster motor start-ups and shutdowns. For industries needing reliable uptime, it solves the challenge of combining safety and efficiency in one streamlined system.

The Applications

1. High-Speed Packaging Lines

In packaging lines where conveyors, feeders, and sealers operate continuously, space-saving and reliability are crucial. The ELR H3-IES-SC-24DC/500AC-2 simplifies cabinet wiring by combining motor control, overload protection, and safety stop in one device. Its compact width allows engineers to fit more functions into smaller enclosures, while low-wear switching ensures dependable operation even with frequent motor starts. With integrated SIL 3 safety, operators are protected during emergency conditions, helping facilities maintain both production speed and compliance with safety standards. This makes it ideal for industries handling high-volume packaging, where uptime and protection directly impact profitability.

2. Pumping Systems in Utilities

Water treatment and wastewater facilities rely on pump motors that must withstand continuous duty cycles. Using a hybrid starter reduces downtime by automatically managing overloads and providing safe shutdown when abnormal conditions occur. Its integrated design removes the need for separate protection relays, making system setup faster and more cost-effective. The device’s ability to handle a broad operating range provides flexibility across different pump sizes. In addition, the emergency stop function ensures that hazardous conditions like dry-run or blockage are addressed immediately. These features make it a strong fit for utility applications where uninterrupted operation and safety compliance are critical.

3. HVAC and Cooling Equipment

Heating, ventilation, and cooling systems in large buildings often involve multiple fan and pump motors that cycle on and off throughout the day. The hybrid motor starter ensures smooth switching, reducing wear on components that experience frequent operation. Its compact footprint is valuable in modular HVAC skids, where panel space is limited. By integrating overload protection, operators gain reassurance that motors are safeguarded against unexpected current surges. In emergency situations, the built-in safety stop immediately disconnects the load, protecting both equipment and people. These capabilities provide building managers with a reliable, compact, and safe solution for energy-efficient climate control systems.

4. Automated Warehousing and Conveyor Systems

Warehouses and logistics hubs depend on conveyors that must react quickly to variable loads and stop safely when personnel access restricted zones. The hybrid motor starter provides precise motor control and overload protection in one device, helping avoid costly downtime due to jams or excessive loads. Its hybrid switching technology minimizes mechanical stress, supporting longer service life in demanding environments. When an emergency stop is triggered, the device ensures immediate motor shutdown, protecting workers and preventing damage to goods. With simplified wiring and modular expansion capability, it is well-suited to modern automated material-handling systems that demand both safety and efficiency.
