LUCA12BL Schneider Electric 9 kW DOL Starter, 690 V ac, 3 Phase, IP40

Schneider Electric TeSys Direct On-Line Starter Controller, 690V AC, 9kW - LUC Series - LUCA12BL_x000D_ Choose this general-purpose motor starter from Schneider Electric's TeSys range for motors that run in one direction at a single speed. It controls ignition and switch-off and includes thermal overload and short-circuit protection. This plug-in module lets you assemble and wire the device before selecting your motor-protection parameters for ease of use. Reduced wiring means faster panel building times to improve the overall efficiency of your control system. This versatile motor starter is useful for a wide variety of direct on-line (DOL) starting applications._x000D_ Features & Benefits_x000D_ • Plug-and-play functionality for improved flexibility and easy upgrading_x000D_ • Includes protection against phase failure and phase imbalances for improved reliability_x000D_ • Allows for fast return to service after a short-circuit fail to optimise productivity_x000D_ • IP40 (ingress protection) rated enclosure that's protected against tools and wires larger than 1mm_x000D_ Applications_x000D_ • Pumps and turbines_x000D_ • Medical and pharmaceutical industries_x000D_ • Automotive industry_x000D_ What are the main elements in a motor starter?_x000D_ A motor starter consists of two main elements – a contactor and overload protection. The contactor controls the flow of electric current to a motor to repeatedly establish and interrupt an electrical power circuit. Overload protection ensures the motor doesn't draw too much current, which could otherwise result in burnout._x000D_ Schneider Electric TeSys U_x000D_ 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._x000D_ Faster design with fewer components needed_x000D_ Quicker panel build with faster assembly time and fewer wires per starter_x000D_ Space saving 45mm width up to 32A (even for reversing) allowing smaller panels_x000D_ Flexible and upgradeable with plug-and-play function modules_x000D_ Voltage and protection parameters can be determined after assembly and wiring_x000D_ Broad band electronic control unit provides improved overload protection with fewer components_x000D_ Expandable plug-and–play diagnostics_x000D_ Total co-ordination for fast return to service after a short circuit fault_x000D_ Tesys model U is easy to select:_x000D_ First choose a Power Base- 12A or 32A, direct on line or reversing. The power base includes 2 auxiliary contacts._x000D_ Then choose the plug-in protection module by motor full load current and control voltage required._x000D_ Additional plug in functions can be selected and added at any time._x000D_ The plug-in bases can use any LU9 type blocks see stock no. 493-8779 for base option
