Siemens - Motor Contactors and Overloads
SIEMENS ENERGY & AUTOMATION, INC.
Motor Contactors and Overloads (Starters)
SIEMENS makes several series of motor control products. The most popular of them are the 3TF series contactors and the 3UA overloads.

The SIEMENS 3TF series contactors feature a patented arc-quenching system which diverts arcs away from the contact surfaces and extinguishes them efficiently. This enhances the life of the contacts. These contactors also feature a very short debounce time (less than 2 milliseconds) which further enhances the life. The innovative design of the 3TF contactors provides inrush current capacity up to 1200% FLA. This makes them ideal for modern high-efficiency motors.

The companion 3UA overload relays provide also phase loss and unbalanced load protection. All sizes have an isolated alarm contact and a test button. (Smaller sizes are also available without these.) They also have the most important feature an overload can have: SIEMENS RELIABILITY! Overloads are there in case something goes wrong. Why trust an inferior brand? SIEMENS sells more industrial controls worldwide than anyone else.

A full line of accessories is available for both the 3TF contactors and the 3UA overload relays.

We at PRIME CONTROLS COMPANY are pleased to announce that effective immediately we can offer a large discount from SIEMENS 3TF contactor and 3UA overload relay list prices to both industrial users and OEM's.
