The Schneider Electric TeSys Hybrid range (specifically the TeSys H series) represents a paradigm shift in motor starting technology. By seamlessly integrating traditional electromechanical switching with high-performance power electronics, these hybrid motor starters provide a robust, ultra-compact, and incredibly durable solution for modern industrial automation.
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of Industry 4.0, the TeSys Hybrid series focuses on reducing footprint while maximising service life.
- Unrivalled Compactness: With a standard width of just 22.5mm, the TeSys H starter occupies up to 75% less space in the electrical cabinet compared to conventional solutions. This makes it the ideal choice for high-density control panels where DIN rail real estate is at a premium.
- Hybrid Switching Technology: The innovative "hybrid" design uses semiconductors to handle the making and breaking of the current (minimising arcing), while electromechanical contacts carry the current during steady-state operation. This combination virtually eliminates contact wear.
- Exceptional Electrical Durability: Capable of performing up to 30 million electrical cycles (AC-53a), these starters offer a lifespan significantly longer than standard contactors, drastically reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) and maintenance intervals.
- Integrated Multi-Functionality: A single TeSys H unit provides:
The TeSys Hybrid range is engineered for simplicity and reliability, ensuring that commissioning and troubleshooting are as intuitive as possible.
- Simplified Wiring: By consolidating motor switching and protection into a single module, wiring complexity is halved. This reduces the risk of connection errors and accelerates assembly times for panel builders.
- Intuitive Diagnostics: Front-facing LED status indicators provide instant visual feedback on motor running status and trip conditions, allowing for rapid fault identification and minimal downtime.
- Versatile Reset Options: Supports manual, automatic, and remote electrical reset after a thermal trip, enabling flexible integration into automated control schemes.
- Wide Application Range: Ratings typically cover motors up to 3 kW / 400 V (approximately 6.5A to 9A depending on the specific model), making them perfect for conveyors, logistics systems, and small machine tools.
