Schneider Electric Advanced Motor Starter, 25 hp, 690 V ac, IP20, 32 A

This power base from Schneider Electric's TeSys range is the electro-mechanical building block for a high-performance motor starter module. It offers a reliable breaking capacity of 50kA at 440V to protect motors from short circuits or current faults, reducing downtime. The intuitive device has good immunity to voltage spikes and microbreaks in the power supply to improve productivity and minimise maintenance. It dissipates heat to keep operating temperatures cool and improve the overall efficiency of your motor management system.

• Superior mechanical durability for consistently reliable performance throughout its extended service life
• Fast opening and closing circuit times for instant reaction to faults
• Screw-clamp power terminals that firmly hold wiring, even when shock and vibration are present
• Space-saving dimensions of 145 (height) x 45 (width) x 146mm (depth)

• Air conditioning and ventilation
• Production and assembly lines
• Pumps

Yes, this power base is a good choice for safety applications. Every TeSys contactor from Schneider Electric is both mechanically linked and equipped with mirror contacts for enhanced safety. These units also feature high-contrast covers to identify them as safety-critical devices and prevent accidental manual operation.

Schneider Electric TeSys U

The TeSys U is a modular system for motor control; it enables the user to create a customised solution for their control requirements, from a series of standard modules. The plug-in modules allow the assembly and wiring before the selection of motor protection parameters and control voltages, they can be created or changed in seconds by changing the plug-in modules. A host of DOL starting applications can be catered for.

Faster design with fewer components needed
Quicker panel build with faster assembly time and fewer wires per starter
Space saving 45mm width up to 32A (even for reversing) allowing smaller panels
Flexible and upgradeable with plug-and-play function modules
Voltage and protection parameters can be determined after assembly and wiring
Broad band electronic control unit provides improved overload protection with fewer components
Expandable plug-and–play diagnostics
Total co-ordination for fast return to service after a short circuit fault

Tesys model U is easy to select:

First choose a Power Base- 12A or 32A, direct on line or reversing. The power base includes 2 auxiliary contacts.
Then choose the plug-in protection module by motor full load current and control voltage required.
Additional plug in functions can be selected and added at any time.
The plug-in bases can use any LU9 type blocks see stock no. 493-8779 for base option
