Introducing the M100 Electronic Motor Starter: Revolutionizing Industrial Motor Control

At Kirby Risk Electrical Supply, we are committed to bringing you the latest innovations in industrial automation and motor control. Today, we are excited to introduce the M100 Electronic Motor Starter—a smart, connected solution designed to enhance the reliability and efficiency of your motor-driven systems.

Innovation Simplified

The M100 Electronic Motor Starter is inspired by the need for innovative, flexible, and powerful motor starting capabilities. This advanced electronic solution is engineered for industrial excellence, helping you achieve smooth startups, precise speed control, and robust overload protection. By integrating the M100 into your systems, you can enhance operational efficiency, extend equipment lifespan, and optimize energy consumption and panel space.

Prioritizing Safety

Safety is paramount in every industrial application. The M100 adheres to functional safety standards up to 61508 SIL 3 PL-e, providing a robust safety framework. This ensures the motor starter's reliability in critical applications, enhancing overall safety across your operations.

Simplification and Space Efficiency

Panel space is a valuable resource in industrial settings. The M100 overcomes space constraints by delivering Direct-on-Line (DOL), safety, and reversing capabilities within the same form factor. This allows you to take advantage of more functionality in your panels while occupying less space than traditional configurations.

Next Generation Performance

The M100 Electronic Motor Starter is a highly efficient and compact solution designed to streamline motor control functionality. With the capabilities of a contactor and an overload relay in a single unit, you can optimize panel space without compromising performance. The M100's removable terminal blocks, available in both screw and push-in types, make installation easy and reduce wiring complexity.

Point-on-Wave Technology

One of the standout features of the M100 is its Point-on-Wave (POW) technology. This technology enables precise control of electrical loads by triggering the switching action at a specific point in the voltage waveform. The benefits include reduced electrical stress on components, minimized inrush currents, and decreased electromagnetic interference. With POW technology, the M100 enhances the longevity and reliability of your electrical devices, improves energy efficiency, and builds safer systems.

Zero-Stacking with No Derating

The M100 allows for zero-stacking, a significant design technique that enables multiple motor starters to be mounted side by side without requiring additional spacing for heat dissipation. This maximizes space efficiency in panels without compromising performance. The M100 maintains full operational capacity up to 55°C, making it a reliable component in space-constrained environments.

Wide Amperage Range

The M100 offers a wide amperage range to meet various application needs. It is available in configurations up to 23A with a 45mm width and up to 9A with a 22.5mm width. This flexibility allows you to design your control panel to meet tough safety requirements while reducing component and engineering complexity.

Embrace the Future of Motor Control

The M100 Electronic Motor Starter is a game-changer in industrial motor control. It promises fewer components, simplified wiring, more panel space, and less complexity. By incorporating the M100 into your systems, you can ensure your operations are efficient, reliable, and safe.
