Reliably control your motor-based operations with this 3-phase soft starter from Schneider Electric. It's an electromechanical switch with a contactor and overload protection to protect your motors against electrical overloads. The component helps reduce the torque, load and electrical current surges during power-ups. You can safely and effectively combine this unit with Schneider Electric TeSys Island model U controller-starters for soft start and soft stop functions. This innovative combination enhances the starting performance of asynchronous motors in a controlled manner.

• IP20 rating assures you the unit is touch-proof to enhance safety and prevent electric shocks
• Strong plastic body protects internal components against corrosion
• Coordination and rapid fault detection help to quickly resolve problems and resume operations

• Lifting equipment
• Conveyors
• Compressors
• Textile and paper mills

Soft starters are suitable for industrial applications with high inertia loads that call for a large inrush of current.

The soft start and stopping times of this starter are between 1 and 10 seconds.

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.

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
