New contactors help industrial plants improve operational efficiency, automation and control reliability

Schneider Electric’s has launched the TeSys D Green range of energy-efficient contactors for control and switching applications. The new contactors are equipped with an innovative electronic coil that requires up to 80% less energy and generates up to 50% less heat inside cabinets compared to electro-mechanical contactors. This will help large process and manufacturing plants noticeably reduce their energy bills and meet sustainability goals. “New regulations and standards are requiring companies to become more accountable for energy efficiency and sustainability. So we’ve given TeSys D Green best-in-class coil efficiency for significant energy savings”, David Barrett-Hague, product marketing manager for Schneider Electric. “It’s also very simple for OEMs to select while including many cost-saving installation features. And plant managers will appreciate its exceptional reliability and eco-friendly design.” The contactors are designed to help keep processes up and running, with SEMIF47-compliant performance due to a wide band coil with higher resistance to voltage disturbances on the grid. The range also features an electrically noise-free design, reduced contact bounce from mechanical shock and vibration, and reliable repetitive actuation regardless of voltage fluctuations.
