Schneider Electric LUCA32BL

Technical Specifications & Application Guide

1. Product Overview

Schneider LUCA32BL is a standard control unit from the TeSys Ultra series (formerly TeSys U series), a component of three-phase motor starters. It must be used with LUB series power bases (such as LUB32 / LUB38) to form a complete motor starting and protection system. It features thermal-magnetic protection and is suitable for industrial applications requiring basic motor protection including overload, ماس كهربائى, خسارة المرحلة, phase imbalance, and earth fault protection.

TeSys Ultra (formerly TeSys U) Standard Control Unit Range & Power Bases

1. Complete List of Standard Control Units (LUCA Series)

TeSys Ultra standard control units use thermal-magnetic protection and provide overload, ماس كهربائى, خسارة المرحلة, phase imbalance, and earth fault protection. They are only compatible with standard power bases (LUB series) and not with advanced bases (LUBxxx0 series). All models are Class 10, 3-القطب (3ص) three-phase devices.

Model Naming Convention

LUC: Prefix for TeSys Ultra control units

أ: Standard control unit (Advanced versions: C/D/M)

العشرين: Current range code (1X = 0.35–1.4 A, 05 = 1.25–5 A, 12 = 3–12 A, 18 = 4.5–18 A, 32 = 8–32 A)

لاحقة: BL = 24 VDC, ES = 48–72 V AC/DC, FU = 110–240 V AC/DC, B = 24 بطالة

2. Complete List of Power Bases (LUB Series)

TeSys Ultra power bases are divided into standard bases (no suffix) and advanced bases (لاحقة 0), both 3P three-phase, for different control unit types.

2.1 Standard Power Bases (For LUCA Series Standard Control Units)

2.2 Advanced Power Bases (For LUCC / LUCD / LUCM Advanced Control Units)

2.3 Reversing Power Bases (For Reversing Control Units)

3. Key Matching Rules
4. Standard Control Unit (LUCA) + Standard Base (LUBxx): Basic motor protection with thermal-magnetic protection and standard control
5. Advanced Control Unit (LUCC/LUCD/LUCM) + Advanced Base (LUBxx0): Premium protection with diagnostics, تواصل, and extended functions
6. Control unit current range ≤ base rated current: على سبيل المثال, LUCA32BL (8–32 A) may only be used with LUB32 (32 أ) or LUB38 (38 أ), not LUB12 (12 أ)
7. Control voltage is independent of main voltage: Control unit powered via terminals A1/A2 on the base, typically 24 VDC/AC, 48–72 V AC/DC, or 110–240 V AC/DC
8. Application Notes
9. تصاعد: Control unit plugs directly into power base and locks with a clip; no additional tools required
10. حماية: Basic protection including Class 10 الزائد, ماس كهربائى (13 × Ir max), phase imbalance, خسارة المرحلة, and earth fault (equipment protection)
11. تواصل: يدعم مودبوس (with optional communication module) for remote monitoring and diagnostics
12. بيئة: درجة حرارة التشغيل -25 °C ~ +70 درجة مئوية, suitable for most industrial environments

The combination of TeSys Ultra standard control units (LUCA series) and power bases (LUB series) provides a flexible and reliable solution for motor starting and protection, covering three-phase motors from 0.75 kW to 18.5 كيلوواط. Selection should be based on motor rated current, السيطرة على الجهد, and protection requirements to ensure safe and stable operation.
