⚡ TeSys Deca Frame 3

TeSys Deca Frame 3 covers Schneider Electric’s medium‑to‑high‑power motor control and protection range, typically up to 80 A, using GV3/GV4 motor circuit breakers and LC1D contactors in the 40–80 A class.

Frame 3 is the workhorse tier for motors in the 30–45 kW range and is prominently used with ATS130 soft starters, as shown in your uploaded ATS130 catalogue.

Your document confirms:

TeSys Deca frame 3 and frame 4 thermal‑magnetic circuit breakers… provide short‑circuit and motor overload protections.

Frame 3 is the standard choice for ATS130 sizes up to 80 A.


🔧 Key Points (Short & Clear)

  • Up to 80 A motor control — ideal for 30–45 kW motors.
  • Thermal‑magnetic protection — overload + short‑circuit in one device.
  • Medium‑power switching — LC1D40…LC1D80 contactors.
  • Modular accessories — auxiliaries, shunt trips, alarm contacts.
  • Perfect ATS130 coordination — tested combinations for Type 1/Type 2 protection.
  • EverLink terminals — vibration‑proof tightening on GV3/GV4.
  • Global certifications — IEC, UL, CSA.
