LUCA18BL Schneider Electric 15 kW DOL Starter, 690 V ac, 3 Phase, IP40

Schneider Electric DOL Starter, 6kV Rated Impulse Withstand Voltage, Plug-in Mounting - LUC Series - LUCA18BL_x000D_ 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._x000D_ Features & Benefits_x000D_ • IP40 rating means it's protected from tools and objects larger than 1mm in size_x000D_ • Power rating of 15kW for use with heavy-duty applications_x000D_ • Plug-in mounting is simple and doesn't need complex tools, saving time and effort_x000D_ • Broad operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C for use in demanding conditions_x000D_ Applications_x000D_ • Metal workshops_x000D_ • Automotive industry_x000D_ • Industrial fans_x000D_ How does this DOL starter handle voltage spikes?_x000D_ Thanks to an impulse withstand voltage of 6kV, this DOL starter can withstand sudden voltage surges without suffering damage._x000D_ How much power does this DOL starter lose to heat during operation?_x000D_ This starter dissipates just 3W of power to heat, making it an energy-efficient control solution._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
