Schneider Electric South Africa has launched the TeSys Deca Advanced, an advanced contactor solution designed to revolutionise motor management with unparalleled efficiency, reliability, simplicity and sustainability. It utilises wide-band coil technology which controls 24 to 500 V AC/DC voltage inputs. This innovative feature not only withstands voltage fluctuations but also minimises energy consumption, resulting in reduced CO2 emissions and lower operational costs.
It is built for a range of industrial applications in robust, highly industrial environments. Combining digital capabilities, reduced energy consumption and more simplified installation, the unit is engineered to help optimise motor management while supporting sustainability and operational resilience. It can be used for hoisting, pumps, HVAC systems, elevators and packaging applications. Additionally, it is suitable for mining and wastewater environments among others.
Its ergonomic three-layer setup organises wiring for optimal visibility and accessibility, streamlining operations and minimising the need for specialised skills in the workforce. The one-click connection technology reduces installation efforts by up to 75%, allowing for rapid deployment in critical environments where uptime is essential. Direct PLC control capability reduces complexity in selection and inventory management by 80%, facilitating smoother operations. It supports predictive maintenance by offering real-time diagnostics, allowing users to foresee and address potential problems before they cause any downtime. Thapelo Manthata, offer manager of Power Products, says: “By integrating advanced technology with a strong emphasis on sustainability, we remain committed to maximising uptime and providing exceptional value.”
