Solutions for Industrial Control & Protection:

Contactors

Sprecher + Schuh’s CA7 contactors control motors up to 55kW, in frame sizes ranging from 45mm to a maximum of 72mm wide. Due to a modular design, CA7 is flexible and easy to use. All CA7 contactors use the same accessories, reducing the need to stock additional inventory. They are also mechanically and electrically compatible with Sprecher + Schuh’s new CEP7-1 electronic overload relay. This provides easy, clean installation for a variety of motor starter applications. Whether part of a system or for individual use, the CA7 is the right contactor for the job.

Overload Protection

CEP7-1 is the next generation electronic overload relay. The CEP7-1 is the next generation electronic overload relay. It has enhanced features to better safeguard your motor investments, including increased accuracy and repeatability, a self-powered design with lower heat dissipation, and optional expansion capabilities.

CT7N bimetallic thermal overload relays compensate for ambient temperature while providing overload protection and phase-loss sensitivity. They are a cost-effective way to protection your electrical equipment investment. The CT7N bimetallic class 10 overload relays are designed for use with the CA7 Contactors.
