September 3, 2025 – AutomationDirect has added Eltwin solid state contactors which provide load switching control with the advantage of no moving parts, considerably extending service life and reducing maintenance costs. In addition, solid state components make switching incredibly fast and allow for a much smaller contactor. Since these contactors are UL/cUL rated as motor controllers, they can be used for motors, heaters, transformers, and more.
Reversing solid state contactors seamlessly reverse AC motors with precision control, unmatched durability, and enhanced efficiency for demanding applications. Non-reversing solid state contactors control AC motor operation in one direction and are also available in “direct-on-line” (DOL) versions that provide peak performance for demanding 3-phase motor applications with frequent starts, stops, and jogs. The added overload protection switch accessory for use with Eltwin SCx, SMCx-DOL, and SRC solid state contactors provides protection from over-temperature conditions.
