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
