November 2008 Motion Control & Drives

Schneider Electric has launched the comprehensive range of new TeSys motor starters.

Boosting its range of power control and protection solutions, Schneider is pleased to announce the immediate local availability of its latest range of TeSys products.

With a full range of products extending from basic to advanced power control and protection requirements, the new TeSys range is designed with reliability and robustness at its core.

“We are very excited about this new range as it provides the industry with the most comprehensive offerings from 0 to 2500 A, AC or DC, with or without motor loads,” says Shem Chelliah, product manager power control and protection (PCP) at Schneider Electric South Africa.

Schneider says savings associated with using the TeSys products include the ability to reduce the size of enclosures by up to 40%, and with the latest customisation features 60% of user panels can be built before project completion.

Product descriptions

The latest range is made up of the TeSys U, TeSys GV & D, and the TeSys T. Designed to simplify process and anticipate user needs the new TeSys U is ideally suited to the material handling, water and packaging industries.

The TeSys GV & D motor starters incorporate an EverLink terminal block, offering connection reliability and housed in a compact form factor. With ease of installation these devices are perfectly suited for applications involving hoisting, HVAC, textile, lifts and escalators, as well as the food and beverage industries.

The TeSys T products are an advanced motor management and protection system that assist in preventing malfunctions associated with a motor start-up and operation, as well as proactively managing unexpected stoppages of a process or manufacturing run. This range is designed with the mining, metal, mineral, and oil and gas industries in mind.

“The development team has taken great pains in ensuring that these products take all stages of the product life cycle into account namely design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance,” adds Chelliah.

With TeSys users can now take advantage of a product that enables direct compatibility with low-level inputs/outputs, and that can be controlled directly by low level outputs with low consumption DC coils. With an open approach to communications users can network equipment utilising a wide variety of protocols.

Direct benefits:

* With the diagnostic functions of TeSys Advanced, it is now possible to anticipate and avoid breakdowns.

* Diagnostic functions make it possible to immediately identify the cause of a failure and to take appropriate action.

* The design improves energy efficiency and leads to energy savings of up to 25% using low consumption coils and electronic protection.

“We believe this new range will revolutionise the power control and protection market. The stringent quality specifications our teams have adhered to as well as the focus on reduction of environmental impact makes these products leaders in the field,” concludes Chelliah.
