Schneider Electric TeSys Advanced Motor Starter, 5.5 kW, 3 Phase, IP20, IP40, 3 → 12 A

This 3-phase motor starter from Schneider Electric's TeSys range protects against short circuits, overloads and phase imbalances. Its modular design lets you create a customised solution for your motor control requirements by using plug-in modules that are easy to assemble and wire. These allow for the quick change of control parameters or control voltages for maximum flexibility in motor control applications. Plug-in technology also means that wiring can be prepared in advance of installation and simplifies maintenance work. Enjoy the benefits of easy and quick panel building in industrial environments with this motor starter.

• Self-cooling motor to prevent over-heating and reduce downtime
• Detects phase-failure for improved safety and reliability of machinery
• Separation of circuits between the controller and auxiliary circuits for enhanced workplace safety
• Compact, space-saving design with dimensions of 66 (H) x 45 (W) x 60mm (D) for maximum packing efficiency

• Textile industry
• Pumps and turbines
• Automotive industry

Yes, this motor starter is suitable for harsh industrial use as it has good resistance to shock and vibration. An IP20 (ingress protection) rating means it's protected from accidental finger-touch and objects larger than 12mm.

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
