The TeSys range by Schneider Electric is a world-leading portfolio of contactors and motor starters, designed to offer high reliability, a long mechanical life, and a compact footprint. Below is a breakdown of the K, D, and SK series, highlighting their specific applications and technical advantages.
TeSys K
The TeSys K range is a compact series of mini-contactors and control relays, ideal for simple applications where space is at a premium.
- Current Range: Up to 16 A (approx. 7.5 kW at 400 V).
- Key Features: Available in 3-pole and 4-pole versions with a variety of connection types, including screw clamps, faston connectors, and pins for printed circuit boards (PCBs).
- Best For: Small motors, ventilation, heating systems, and applications requiring silent operation.
TeSys D
The TeSys D range is the most popular choice for motor control globally, offering unmatched versatility and easy integration into automation systems.
- Current Range: From 9 A to 150 A (up to 75 kW at 400 V).
- Key Features: * EverLink Technology: Patented power terminals that ensure a permanent tightening pressure even if the cable undergoes "creep," reducing the risk of overheating.
- High Integration: Easily combined with TeSys LRD thermal overload relays or TeSys GV motor circuit breakers.
- Safety: Built-in auxiliary contacts for feedback loops and safety-certified components.
- Best For: Industrial machinery, HVAC, and complex automation panels.
TeSys SK
The TeSys SK series comprises mini-contactors specifically engineered for low-power applications where even the TeSys K might be too large.
- Current Range: Up to 5 A (AC-3) or 10 A (AC-1).
- Key Features: Extremely small footprint, typically used for auxiliary circuit control or switching very small motors. They offer a simple, cost-effective solution for light-duty switching.
- Best For: Control circuit interfacing, small pumps, and light commercial applications.
This collection of high-quality control components is engineered for reliability and precision within industrial and commercial environments. Designed to provide seamless human-machine interface (HMI) solutions, these units ensure safe and efficient operation across a variety of applications.
