Recyclability potential, in %
information_stroke
The calculation of the recyclability potential relies on the scenario "France - parts are shredded" of TR62635 considering all parts in the product and materials recyclability. We recognized that this may not always allow comparison with other competitor offers on the market and are waiting for a common standard to be published end of 2026.

Description
arrow2_down
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 24V AC 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).
