E-Series™ Smooth-Move®
About the E-Series™ Smooth-Move® Single-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 The PE® E-Series™ will help you eliminate resistor ballasts/outdated resistor starting!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 1-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.

1-speed motors will start, reverse, and & re-level softly and smoothly.

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:
  • 1-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.
