Schneider Electric DOL Starter, 6kV Rated Impulse Withstand Voltage, Plug-in Mounting - LUC Series - LUCA18BL


Safely switch your industrial motors with this DOL starter from Schneider Electric. It works by sending the full voltage from the power supply to your 3-phase motor, with conditional monitoring to ensure that the connection doesn't damage attached equipment. As it falls into the AC-41, AC-43 and AC-44 utilisation categories, you can use this versatile starter to control both non-inductive and squirrel-cage motors. For workplace safety, its thermoplastic housing serves as an insulator to protect you from electric shocks.

Features & Benefits


• IP40 rating means it's protected from tools and objects larger than 1mm in size
• Power rating of 15kW for use with heavy-duty applications
• Plug-in mounting is simple and doesn't need complex tools, saving time and effort
• Broad operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C for use in demanding conditions

Applications


• Metal workshops
• Automotive industry
• Industrial fans

How does this DOL starter handle voltage spikes?


Thanks to an impulse withstand voltage of 6kV, this DOL starter can withstand sudden voltage surges without suffering damage.

How much power does this DOL starter lose to heat during operation?


This starter dissipates just 3W of power to heat, making it an energy-efficient control solution.


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
