We offer solutions for business from different industries

Our partners

SENSORS
Fundamental components for process control, Gefran's sensors measure main variables such as temperature, pressure, position and force. The main element of the sensors is produced in cleanrooms, in environments protected from any kind of pollutant and equipped with highly technological work and control instruments.

COMPONENTS
Three product lines are dedicated to indicating and controlling process variables: static groups, regulators and electronic indicators. A range of constantly evolving devices capable of providing innovative solutions and responding to the needs of process optimisation and intelligent management of energy consumption. These devices complete the range of support services offered and faster delivery times, the key factors that make Gefran a competitive and reliable partner.

AUTOMATION PLATFORMS
Gefran designs and manufactures automation control systems offering machine constructors a wide range of specific components (Unit Control Panels, Operator Interfaces, input/output systems, as well as programmable logic controllers and industrial PLC). This dedicated division also designs and develops solutions that adapt to customer projects, offering unique and exclusive "turnkey" solutions.

MOTION CONTROL
This range of products, designed and manufactured at the Drive and Motion Control Unit of Gefran in Gefrenzano (VA), consists of continuous and alternating current electronic drives and electric motors, including a complete range to fully satisfy the needs of industrial automation. The line also includes a series of inverters for the domestic and industrial photovoltaic industry.

Game Changing Soft Starters

The MVC4 Medium Voltage Series Soft Starter is designed to start AC motors in any fixed speed application. It provides maximum protection with "True Thermal Modeling," while allowing smooth, stepless control of acceleration and deceleration. The MVC4 Series guarantees power control and protection for your most important assets.

Soft start & protect any AC motor

The MVC4 Series starter is designed to start AC motors in any fixed speed application. It provides maximum protection with "True Thermal Modeling," while allowing smooth, stepless control of acceleration and deceleration. The MVC Plus Series guarantees power control and protection for your most important assets.

Heavy-duty attitude highest rated power devices for maximum current carrying capacity. Rated at 500% for 60 seconds, the MVC4 Series starter will never be the limiting factor in your application. Powerful sustained gate pulse insures reliable SCR firing without reactors (unlike "wimpy" pulse train designs that require a reactor to prevent SCR and motor damage).

Features

Advanced motor protection relay and ramp features programmable via the keypad or a laptop computer.
Fiber optically isolated low voltage compartment with up to 110kV BIL rating for safety and reliability.
Built-in 120V control power transformer*; voltage and current metering.
Load-break / fault-make rated disconnect switch with door safety interlocking.*
Visible grounding bar for safe operation.
Coordinated motor fuses with blown fuse indicators.
Line isolation vacuum contactor.*
Fully rated bypass contactor for increased thermal capacity and optional across-the-line starting.
Heavy duty SCR stack assemblies with ring transformer isolation for reliable SCR gate firing.
RTD Option accepts up to 12 RTD inputs.
Zero sequence ground fault protection option.
Top entry, bottom exit with room for stress cones.
Removable entry plates for easy connections.
NEMA 12 gasketed enclosure (NEMA 3R optional).

Advanced Protection

True Thermal Modeling monitors the motor for excessive thermal conditions due to starting, running and even ambient conditions.
Retentive Thermal Memory for continuous overload protection even after a complete power loss.
MVC Plus remembers the last thermal condition of the motor, observes the off time via a real-time clock and adjusts the thermal model accordingly.
Non-Volatile Memory stores the thermal memory without the need for batteries.
True Time Thermal Tracking adjusts the thermal model for different cooling rates based on motor temperature,running state or power loss.
Dynamic Reset Response Reset is only allowed after the motor has sufficient thermal capacity for a successful restart.
Thermal Model Biasing adjusts for heating effects of phase current imbalance or optional RTD inputs.
Flexible Setup Choose the level of overload protection.
