The Schneider LUCB12ES advanced control unit from the TeSys Ultra series handles motor protection for three-phase self-cooled motors — covering overload, short-circuit, earth fault, and phase failure or imbalance. It carries a manual reset, which is typical in applications where automatic restart after a fault is not permitted. Rated for AC-43, AC-41, and AC-44 utilisation categories, it suits motor switching duty, with opening times of 35 ms and closing times of 60 ms when paired with a LUB12, LUB32, or LUB38 control circuit. Motor power capability reaches 5.5 kW at 400 V, 5.5 kW at 500 V, and 9 kW at 690 V.
AC-43 governs duty, with Class 10 thermal overload per IEC 60947-6-2 and UL 508, tripping threshold 14.2 × Ir ± 20 %, and phase failure sensitivity.
The unit mounts plug-in on the front face, with IP20 front panel and wired terminals and IP40 front panel outside the connection zone; dimensions are 66 mm high × 45 mm wide × 60 mm deep. Control voltage is 48 V AC or 48–72 V DC; sealed current draw ranges from 35 mA to 45 mA depending on the control circuit variant, and heat dissipation is 2–3 W.
