Schneider Electric - TeSys motor protection and control: 100 years of innovation in industry
The magnetic switch, also known as an electromagnetic switch or contactor, has had a huge impact on industrial development over the past 100 years and has become a fundamental part of modern industrial infrastructure. From supporting the first steps in industrial automation to integration in modern, smart factories, this technology has contributed to safety, efficiency, flexibility and sustainability in the production environment. From the invention of the pioneering BAR contactor in 1924, the world's first contactor, to TeSys island, a fully digital and IoT-connected load management system, TeSys' journey has been marked by continuous innovation.
TeSys Deca: the new generation of robust motor starters
With TeSys Deca, Schneider Electric introduces a generation of motor starters for use from simple electrical applications to the toughest industrial applications. TeSys Deca covers all major motor powers, from 3.7 kW to 75 kW, and offers solutions between the TeSys Micra offering, which covers powers below 3 kW, and the new TeSys Giga offering, which covers powers above 75 kW. Motor starters in the TeSys Deca range can be individually assembled from motor protection switches, power contactors and overload relays, covering a power range of up to 150 A.
TeSys Giga: self-diagnostic functions for predictive maintenance
The new TeSys Giga series is the replacement for the TeSys F product range of high-power contactors, offering higher performance with the latest innovations in smart technology. TeSys Giga contactors boast a range of unique features designed to maximise machine uptime: modular design, compact size and wideband coils with lower consumption. A front-facing diagnostic visual indicator provides the user with important information on: contact wear, tip wear level, under/overvoltage, internal fault and open and close status of the contactor. This feature maximises uptime and improves reliability and maintenance planning.
TeSys Ultra: the compact and modular motor starter
The TeSys Ultra All in One motor starter combines all main functions (thermal and magnetic protection, switching and control) in one product. Its unique design ensures perfect interaction between the protection and switching functions. The 45 mm wide base unit is independent of drive voltage and motor power. It integrates the circuit breaker function with a breaking capacity of 50 kA at 400 V (25 kA at 38 A), full coordination (continuous operation) and the switching function.
TeSys island: digital and multifunctional load management system
TeSys island is a fully digital and multifunctional load management system designed to switch, protect and manage motors and other electrical loads. TeSys island consists of motor starters and digital or analogue I/O modules, all of which collect real-time data. It gives users access to relevant data for diagnostics, maintenance and energy monitoring, such as device status, current, voltage, energy consumption, electrical load and number of circuits. TeSys island can monitor and analyse machine performance, allowing the machine builder or end user to make intelligent decisions early to reduce downtime and downtime.
