TeSys U advanced power base, 3 poles (3NO), 12A/690V, to be completed with a control unit LUC to form a TeSys U starter controller, for 3-phase motor applications up to 5.5kW@400V. Base composed of power contacts, control coil, rotary handle, with a modular design for additional modules to form a "all in one" starter controller with basic or advanced protection and control functions. It is equipped with auxiliary signaling contacts (1NO+1NC), a control terminal block, and blanking shutters covering the empty cavities. It provides a high breaking capacity Icu 50kA@400V, start-stop control guaranteed for 3600 cycles/hour. Very compact (45mm width), DIN-rail mounting and screw fixing, with a padlockable rotary handle. Certified when used in conjunction with a LUC control unit (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, Marine).

"Helping us move projects forward"
With supply chain issues increasingly affecting our business, PLC Direct has been there for us to supply the PLC products we need, when we need it. If they don't have it readily available, they find it and provide it quickly and reliably. This has helped us move forward with several projects that would have otherwise taken us many, many months to complete.
