Schneider Electric TeSys DOL Starter, DOL, 9 kW, 690 V ac, 3 Phase, IP40

Choose this general-purpose motor starter from Schneider Electric's TeSys range for motors that run in one direction at a single speed. It controls ignition and switch-off and includes thermal overload and short-circuit protection. This plug-in module lets you assemble and wire the device before selecting your motor-protection parameters for ease of use. Reduced wiring means faster panel building times to improve the overall efficiency of your control system. This versatile motor starter is useful for a wide variety of direct on-line (DOL) starting applications.

• Plug-and-play functionality for improved flexibility and easy upgrading
• Includes protection against phase failure and phase imbalances for improved reliability
• Allows for fast return to service after a short-circuit fail to optimise productivity
• IP40 (ingress protection) rated enclosure that's protected against tools and wires larger than 1mm

• Pumps and turbines
• Medical and pharmaceutical industries
• Automotive industry

A motor starter consists of two main elements – a contactor and overload protection. The contactor controls the flow of electric current to a motor to repeatedly establish and interrupt an electrical power circuit. Overload protection ensures the motor doesn't draw too much current, which could otherwise result in burnout.

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
