Schneider Electric LUCL05ES TeSys Ultra Standard Control Unit 1.25-5 A 48-72 V AC/DC Motor Starter Module

The Schneider Electric LUCL05ES is a TeSys Ultra magnetic control unit that plugs into an LUB12, LUB32, or LUB38 power base to form a TeSys U starter-controller for 3-phase motors up to 1.5 kW at 400 V. It covers an adjustable rated current In of 1.25-5 A and provides short-circuit protection only, tripping at 14.2 x In, for use downstream of a motor drive or soft starter that already handles overload protection.

Selection Notes

Unlike the LUCB advanced control units, the LUCL05ES drops thermal overload protection entirely and only handles short-circuit tripping, because it is meant to sit behind a variable speed drive or soft starter that already protects the motor from overload. The 48-72 V AC/DC control voltage matches panels built on a low-voltage control bus; pick the 24 V AC LUCL05B sibling instead when the panel runs a standard 24 V AC control transformer.

Applications

TeSys U starter-controllers paired with a variable speed drive or soft starter for 3-phase motors up to 1.5 kW at 400 V in panels standardized on a 48-72 V control bus, where the drive's own overload algorithm makes a second thermal relay redundant.
