Milestones in Product Development
An international leader in current limiting technology, Moeller Electric developed the industrial controls market in Europe, beginning with Franz Klockner's founding of a manufacturing company in Cologne, Germany for electrical switching devices in 1899. Hein Moeller joined the company in 1911 as chief engineer and director. Moeller Electric has built a reputation for reliably engineered and innovative products, such as development of the first three-phase oil immersed contactor, the EASY programmable relay, MODAN motor control and energy distribution centers and the ARCON arc fault detection and high-speed quenching system.
Milestones along the way include the development of the first switching devices with a life span to match that of the machines they controlled and production of the world's first type PKZ thermal magnetic manual motor protector in 1932. During the 1960's, the company produced the world's first fuseless current limiting, high-interrupting type NZMH circuit breakers and obtained the first UL listing in the 1970's after UL's incorporation of fuseless current limiting circuit breaker standards into UL 489. More recent industry firsts from Moeller include: the world's first high-performance micro programmable controller, the highly successful PS3 in 1985; the introduction of the ICA 1000, the first industrial control panel with high short circuit UL-listed withstand ratings in 1994; the revolutionary ARCON Arc Fault Quenching System in 1996; and in 1999, the EASY family of programmable relays.
