Schneider Electric Direct On Line (DOL) Starter 18.5 kW 690V AC 3 Phase IP40 LUCA32B

Schneider Electric LUCA32B Direct On Line (DOL) Starter is a reliable motor starter unit designed for industrial electric motors up to 18.5 kW power rating at 690V AC voltage and 3-phase supply. The starter offers robust motor protection and efficient control, making it suitable for diverse industrial, manufacturing, and automation applications.

This DOL starter features an IP40 protection rating, shielding internal components from solid foreign objects larger than 1 mm and providing safety for operators against access to live electrical parts. The compact overall dimensions - 66mm length, 45mm width, and 60mm depth - facilitate installation in control panels with limited space constraints.

The starter integrates standard motor protection functions that include thermal overload protection, short-circuit protection, phase failure and phase imbalance protections, and insulation fault safeguarding. Manual reset functionality and Class 10 timing provide reliable overload handling for three-phase motors.

Schneider Electric's TeSys U modular system technology underpins this device, featuring plug-in modules that allow pre-assembly wiring and customizable motor protection and control voltage settings. This modularity enables faster design cycles, streamlined panel assembly, and flexible upgrades.

The LUCA32B starter complies with major international standards and approvals such as CCC, UL 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-6-2, EN 60947-6-2, EAC, CSA, ATEX, CE, and ASEFA, ensuring safety and regulatory conformance for industrial usage.
