TeSys D Contactors from Schneider Electric combine long mechanical and electrical life to offer a high reliable contactor. The range has been designed for integration in control systems and can be used to create motor starters for any type of application. The TeSys D contactors offer quick simple setup while maintaining compliance with international standards.

• Built-in auxiliary contacts for added switching capability
• Screw connections: IP20 finger-safe terminals with both North American and International terminal markings
• Can be panel mounted with screws or DIN Rail mounted
• Bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor to protect the coil
• Easily installed accessories
• Flexible control circuit to suit a wide range of applications

Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions.

• AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.


• AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running. Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.

• Auxiliary contact blocks with serrated wiping action
• Front mount dust tight auxiliary contact blocks
• Pneumatic time delay blocks
• Transient voltage surge suppressors
• Interface modules and electronic timers
• Mechanical latching blocks

Yes the Tesys D range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.

Turn your motors on with the flip of a switch by adding this 3NO contactor from Schneider Electric to your setup. With its high 45kW power rating, it's ideal for the heavy-duty systems found in industrial settings. You can depend on it to switch up to 3600 times per hour and match the pace of setups that frequently stop and start. Even at this rate, the device will go the distance without wearing out thanks to its long lifespan of 1.3 million cycles.

• IP20-rated front face is touch-proof for safe handling during installation and maintenance
• Wide operating temperature range of -5°C to +60°C for use in extreme conditions
• Screw terminals streamline installation and hold fast against vibration
• Mounting clamps make it a snap to install the contactor onto a DIN rail or plate

• Manufacturing facilities
• Energy production industry
• Automotive systems

NO stands for 'normally open', which in the case of contactors means your system is off until you turn it on. These components are suitable for equipment that needs operator supervision, like construction equipment.
