• Easily installed accessories.


• Flexible control circuit to suit a wide range of applications.

What does the utilisation category AC1 and AC3 mean for the TeSys contactors?

• Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions.


• AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.


• AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running. Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.

What accessories are available?

• Auxiliary contact blocks with serrated wiping action.


• Front mount dust tight auxiliary contact blocks.


• Pneumatic time delay blocks.


• Transient voltage surge suppressors.


• Interface modules and electronic timers.


• Mechanical latching blocks.

Is the TeSys D range a double break pole type contactor?

• Yes, the Tesys D range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.
