Protection against phase failure and imbalances are also covered and the device features simple manual resetting. This integrated unit saves on installation time by cutting down on complex wiring jobs.

• Environmentally-friendly with a low coil consumption for a reduced carbon footprint
• Rapid open and closing of circuits for almost instant reactions to electrical faults
• Protective function that's largely immune to power microbreaks and voltage dips
• Fire-resistant to reduce the risk of electrical fires for improved workplace safety

• Aerospace industry
• Hoisting and lifting
• Marine and off-shore industries

Yes, it's easy to upgrade the functions of this motor starter. All you need to do is select the modules you want from the Schneider Electric TeSys Ultra series and then simply clip them into the power base. This way the device can be customised according to your needs.

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
