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.

Power up your equipment with this contactor from Schneider Electric. It's the heavyweight champ you need to turn heating systems, electrical machinery and motors on and off with super-fast 4ms precision. The unit handles demanding setups with ease, operating at a rate of 3600 cycles per hour in temperatures up to +60°C. You don't have to sweat it even at those high switching speeds, as this is a long-lasting choice with a mechanical lifespan of 30 million cycles.

• Wide operating temperature range between -40°C and +60°C for use in challenging settings
• Streamlined dimensions of 45 (W) x 91 (H) x 107mm (D) comfortably fit in busy setups
• Compatible with DIN rail mounting to make installation a snap

• Lighting controls
• Domestic electrical supply
• HVAC systems

In addition to installing the contactor in a secure, well-ventilated control box, you can add an extra layer of defence with the TeSys Deca safety cover (913-2544). Using this will keep hands protected and potential hazards at bay by preventing access to moving parts.
