Schneider Electric Advanced Motor Starter, 7.5 kW, 690 V ac, 3 Phase, IP20, 4.5 → 18 A

Use this advanced motor starter from Schneider Electric's TeSys range to safely switch motors in your industrial equipment. It lets you control the power and voltage supply needed to start your motors and provides overcurrent protection for electrical safety. The motor starter is in the AC-44, AC-41 and AC-43 utilisation categories, which means you can use it to control resistive loads and switch squirrel-cage motors on or off.

• Current adjustment range of 4.5 to 18A for versatility
• Low 3W power loss to heat on control circuit for energy efficiency
• Rated impulse withstand voltage of 6kV to handle sudden voltage surges without damage
• Broad operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C for use in challenging settings

• Heating furnaces
• Material handling equipment

This motor starter isn't protected against water, so you should keep it away from moisture to prevent damage.

This unit is designed for plug-in mounting on the front face of the power base.

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
