TeSys Giga Contactor, replacement of TeSys F
What is TeSys Giga Contactor?
What is TeSys Giga Contactor? – Over more than 4 decades, the TeSys F range of contactors has built a high reputation for performance, reliability, and quality. The TeSys F range set the industrial standard for high power contactors with an installed base of millions of products. TeSys F contactors were the first choice of many OEMs, control panel builders and industrial users. But industry requirements have evolved to demand process performance monitoring through data networks and online expert services. TeSys Giga is Schneider Electric’s new range of contactors that answer these evolving needs.
TeSys Giga Contactors support the evolution of processes and offer new services to reduce nonproduction time to a minimum. Replacing TeSys F Contactors, TeSys Giga Contactors address a wide range of demanding applications with built-in advanced features and functionalities. TeSys Giga Contactors are designed to work with components and accessories with advanced performance. The characteristics of robustness and longevity are maintained, both in the connectors and in the switching.
Continuous local and remote monitoring of contact wear optimizes predictive maintenance by allowing you to replace contacts only when necessary, facilitated by diagnostic visual indicator. Every customer will benefit from the innovative design and feature, including the compact size, wideband electronic coils, embedded auxiliary contact blocks, ergonomic design, or flexibility in connections.
TeSys Giga Contactors can be mounted in different orientation without derating, providing high flexibility of your panel design. Control wiring, auxiliary contacts and control module are accessible from the front. Contact wear is monitored by a dedicated module and shown in the front panel through LED, therefore the, predictive maintenance can be planned for replacing the complete set of switching modules, thus avoiding breakdown maintenance. Switching modules can be replaced quickly and easily thanks to their Plug and Play design.
TeSys Giga Contactor Key Features
Advanced contactor control
- The electronic control module provides wideband AC/DC coil control voltage, from 24 V to 500 V, allowing quick adaptation of existing industrial processes as well as new projects.
- The low power consumption of the coils could lead to significant savings on automation equipment. It’s now possible to use interface relays with a lower rating, resulting in lower heat
Emission in the panel.
- The low power consumption of the coils also takes up less space in the panel and simplifies the diagrams by connecting these coils directly to the output cards of the PLCs.
Simplified wiring
- The pole pitch of the power terminals allows direct mounting and connection to TeSys Giga Electronic Overload Relays. Standardization of panel mounting and assembly reduces costs and
Assembly time.
- Push-in connection for control terminals provides flexibility, ease of connections, and reduced assembly and installation time.
Enhanced durability
- Durability is a top priority. TeSys Giga Contactors are designed to offer uncompromising robustness and maintenance accessibility to site technicians. The duration of production downtown is reduced, resulting in improved profitability on your investment.
Advanced diagnostic features
- On-board diagnostics is a new feature in our latest generation of high power contactors. Counting the number of operations as well as monitoring duration of use and pole condition provides numerous benefits for the customer and improves reliability and maintenance planning.
Compact size
- Compact size provides easy access to power connections for connecting cables and busbars.
Easy maintenance
- The poles are designed as replaceable switching modules, so the performance of a used contactor can be fully restored. The modular design allows a quick and long-lasting replacement.
- Coils are accessible from the front and maintained with very low down times.
