The Russian company Systeme Electric has expanded its range of SystemePact M motor control gear with SystemePact MFS intelligent control and protection devices. SystemePact MFS are multifunctional devices that combine the capabilities of a circuit breaker, contactor, overload relay, and disconnect switch.

They provide full coordination and prediction of emergency situations, have a breaking capacity of 50 kA, and are easily integrated into automation systems. The compact size (54 mm) saves up to 40% of space in the control cabinet. The use of SystemePact MFS reduces equipment installation time, as it does not require the connection of power cables between the circuit breaker and the contactor.

Compared to traditional solutions, the SystemePact MFS series has numerous advantages that simplify the selection of system components.

Multifunctional devices MFS are available for rated currents up to 63 A. The control unit has a wide range of current settings. The basic version of the devices comes with an LCD display. Depending on the application requirements, it is possible to order an extended version with a communication module and additional protections. The presence of the Modbus-RTU protocol ensures easy integration into automation systems, and the ability to configure a warning for thermal overload allows you to know in advance about the motor entering overload mode and provide an emergency stop, thereby ensuring more efficient equipment operation and extending its service life. At the same time, the risk of damage or malfunction is excluded for SystemePact MFS starters – they can be immediately restarted after an accident.

SystemePact MFS perform various functions, such as protection of low-voltage distribution networks, protection and control of single-phase and three-phase motors, system status monitoring, and data exchange with a higher-level control system. The devices can be used in the oil and gas industry and metallurgy, mining, pulp and paper production, transport infrastructure facilities, and other areas.

Storage you can trust in the background: Basis SDS 2.3 released with scheduled diagnostics and an observer role

A storage system is the only infrastructure layer where an error cannot be “rolled back”: neither a reboot nor a configuration rollback will restore lost data. That is why users expect predictability from software-defined storage rather than just new features—ensuring background processes finish what they started, and administrators can see the cluster status not only “right now,” but also over time.
