About the E-Series™ Two-Speed Models:

A.C. Elevators and Lifts need this control! The PE® E-Series™ will help you eliminate resistor ballasts/outdated resistor starting! Upgrade your 2-speed elevators with a smoother/softer ride, with increased safety and reliability, and with reduced inrush current. The PE® E-Series™ will easily retrofit and upgrade your existing elevator system.

2-Speed motors will have smooth/soft starting, reversing, and smooth high to low transition. Without timers!

ARC-ELIMINATION™ is an exclusive feature of the high-reliability Power Electronics soft-start controls. This feature eliminates the destructive arcing on the make & break of power contactors. With the E-Series™ Smooth-Move® installed, old carbon to copper contactor life will be increased, with minimized adjustment and maintenance. Metallic contact life and reliability will also be dramatically increased. Only available from Power Electronics® Intl. Inc®!

For use in the following applications:

  • 2-speed passenger or freight elevators/lifts
  • Hydraulic elevator motors
  • Starting of Motor/Generator sets
  • Upgrading of old elevator installations
  • Improvement of existing elevator designs
  • Useful on dumbwaiters and man-lifts, etc.
