Schneider | TeSys 100 Years

Schneider Electric Celebrating A century of Innovation and Leadership – TeSys 100 Years

For a century, TeSys motor controls have driven the industry with innovations in motor protection, monitoring, and control. It started with the invention of the industry’s first BAR contactor in 1924, followed by the first enclosed motor starter, the first modular contactor, and the first modular three-in-one motor starter. Today, the TeSys name is synonymous with best-in-class safety and reliability, plug-and-play architecture, and flexible functionality. And now, as digitization heralds a new era of motor control performance and capability, TeSys is ready to lead the industry again.

Advancing motor control performance. Again.

New TeSys motor control solutions leverage digitization and electrification to enable load management, source management, and preventive maintenance while lowering the total cost of ownership for customers and end users. From the design and build phase through operation and maintenance, TeSys provides a holistic lifecycle solution that advances advanced asset management and energy efficiency.

Industry-leading protection with built-in arc flash safeguards and complete cybersecurity

Best-in-class reliability with proven functionality built on 100 years of experience in protection relays

Ease of installation, use, and maintenance with simple integration and engineering reducing total cost of ownership

Advanced connectivity with digital tools to make everyday operation simpler
