The electronic compact starter HF-range is used for switching functions of three-phase induction motors (AC-53a)- as well
as direct on-line and resistive loads (AC-51).
The range is available as direct on-line starters (HFxx-DOL) with overload protection as a standard feature and with a safety
design for emergency applications (HFxx-DOLE) with a safety-related shutdown.
Reversing starters (HFxx-ROL) with overload protection and with emergency switch-off function (HFxx-ROLE) are also
available. The standard- DOL/ROL series and the DOLE/ROLE safety series come with electronic overload protection already
integrated. For applications where only a reversing starter is needed, the HFx-R is available – this starter does not have an
integrated electronic overload protection but is the only starter able to control single-phase motors.
For safety applications, a safety relay (e.g. SSR10 or USR10), signal devices and additional devices are required. The manufac-
turer of a plant or a machine is responsible for ensuring its safe functioning with safety-related components.

Basic function
In general, the easiest way to start a motor is with a contactor. Combining it with a protective device against short circuit,
overload protection and in many cases also an isolation device, this combination is then called a motor starter. For reversing
applications where the motor operates in both directions, an additional contactor is needed. This conventional solution –
contactors in combination with overload relays - can be replaced by the electronic compact starter.
