Product details

What this control unit does

The LUCA18FUTQ is a standard control unit from the TeSys U range, designed for basic motor protection and control of 3-phase motors. It handles motor power up to 7.5 kW at 400...440 V AC and 9 kW at 500 V AC, making it a fit for small to medium induction motors on pumps, fans, and conveyors. Protection functions include manual reset, protection against overload and short-circuit, phase failure and phase imbalance, and earth fault protection. The thermal overload class is Class 10, temperature-compensated from -25 to 70 °C per IEC 60947-6-2 and UL 508.

Mounts via plug-in front face — 45 mm wide, 66 mm tall, 60 mm deep. IP20 on the front panel and wired terminals, IP40 on the front panel outside the connection zone. Fits standard TeSys U power bases without additional DIN-rail hardware.

Control circuit voltage

Control circuit accepts 110...240 V AC or 110...220 V DC. The drop-out threshold is 55 V for both AC and DC circuits, so it will not hold in on a 24 V control bus — this unit is not compatible with 24 V control systems.

Certified to EN/IEC 60947-6-2, UL 60947-4-1, and CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1 (with phase barrier). Rated insulation voltage 690 V per IEC, 600 V per UL/CSA. Safe separation of 400 V SELV between control/auxiliary and main circuits.

Frequently asked questions

Can LUCA18FUTQ be used with a 24V control circuit?

No, the control circuit requires 110...240 V AC or 110...220 V DC. The drop-out threshold is 55 V, so it will not operate on 24 V.

What is the difference between LUCA18FUTQ and LUCA12FUTQ?

The two units differ in motor power rating and tripping thresholds. The LUCA18FUTQ is rated for 7.5 kW at 400 V AC, while the LUCA12FUTQ covers a lower power band. Both share the same TeSys U platform, dimensions, and control voltage range.
