Description

TeSys U standard control unit to be inserted in power bases LUB12, LUB32, LUB38 to form a TeSys U starter controller, for 3-phase motor applications up to 5.5kW@400V. It provides full protection to motors with a rated current Ir 3-12A (Ir adjustable), overload tripping class 10, short circuit at 13 x Irmax, overcurrent at 14.2 x Ir, phase loss, insulation fault (protection of equipment only). To be used with a 110-240V AC / 110-220V DC voltage for the control of the starter (through the control terminals A1/A2 located in the power base). Certified when used in conjunction with a LUB power base (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, Marine), Green Premium compliant (RoHS/REACh).

Features

  • Featuring a versatile current setting range of 3 to 12 Amps, this LUCA standard control unit allows for fine-tuned thermal protection tailored to your specific motor’s nameplate. This precision prevents motor burnout caused by subtle overloads while avoiding the productivity-killing nuisance trips common with fixed-rating protection devices.
  • Designed with a wide-range "FU" coil compatible with both AC and DC voltages from 110V to 240V, this unit offers maximum flexibility for industrial automation upgrades. This broad compatibility simplifies your inventory by replacing multiple voltage-specific parts and ensures seamless integration with standard PLC outputs or manual push-button stations.
  • As a core component of the TeSys Ultra (U) innovative motor starter system, this unit snaps directly onto a power base without the need for complex control wiring. This modular architecture allows industrial maintenance teams to perform rapid hot-swaps and system reconfigurations, slashing MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) and keeping your production line moving.
  • Beyond standard thermal protection, this unit provides critical "Class 10" tripping performance, including sensitivity to phase failure and phase imbalance. By instantly detecting a lost phase or unbalanced load, the LUCA12FU prevents catastrophic motor winding damage and expensive downtime in critical pumping, conveyor, or fan applications.
