IEC Control Units

Combination motor starters provide motor control, overload protection and disconnecting means for branch circuit protecting all within the same enclosure. Combination starters reduce labor cost and the space needed for installation by eliminating the field wiring and conduit connections between the disconnecting means and the motor starter.

IEC starters are sold as components comprising a contactor, an auxiliary block and overload relay block. Each component is selected and assembled without the use of tools. IEC products are more flexible and modular and can snap on DIN rails up to 75mm.

Schneider Electric TeSys U is a self-protected combination starter that will clear a detected fault and protect itself from damage. It provides motor control for a wide range of applications, from a basic motor starter with solid state thermal overload protection to a motor controller which communicates on networks. TeSys U consists of a power base that provides the main contacts (power poles) for the combination starter and a control unit that provides the control and thermal overload functions for the power base. TeSys U utilizes a plug-in modular design to provide flexibility. The 45mm wide power base mounts on either a panel or a 35mm DIN rail and various plug-in components can be selected and installed based on the application requirements.
