Schneider Electric TeSys D LC1D Contactor, 400 V ac Coil, 3-Pole, 18 A, 7.5 kW, 3NO, 690 V ac

TeSys D Contactors from Schneider Electric combine long mechanical and electrical life to offer a high reliable contactor. The range has been designed for integration in control systems and can be used to create motor starters for any type of application. The TeSys D contactors offer quick simple setup while maintaining compliance with international standards.

• Built-in auxiliary contacts for added switching capability
• Screw connections: IP20 finger-safe terminals with both North American and International terminal markings
• Can be panel mounted with screws or DIN Rail mounted
• Bidirectional peak limiting diode suppressor to protect the coil
• Easily installed accessories
• Flexible control circuit to suit a wide range of applications

Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions.

• AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.


• AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running. Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.

• Auxiliary contact blocks with serrated wiping action
• Front mount dust tight auxiliary contact blocks
• Pneumatic time delay blocks
• Transient voltage surge suppressors
• Interface modules and electronic timers
• Mechanical latching blocks

Yes the Tesys D range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.

Supplying power to high-current carrying circuits is an open-and-shut case with this contactor from Schneider Electric. It's designed to repeatedly open and close an electric circuit, so helps to ensure systems such as lighting and heating circuits run reliably. With a maximum operating rate of 3,600 cycles per hour, you can rest assured the unit's built to handle repetitive switching. For safety, its enclosure is flame-retardant, so it won't burn in the event of a fire. Reliable resistance to shock and vibration means this contactor stands up to the demands of harsh industrial settings.

• IP20-rated enclosure is touch-proof and protected against objects larger than 12mm
• Insulated for safety, so there's minimal risk of getting an electric shock
• Choice of DIN rail or plate mounting to best suit your setup
• End-of-life optimised to minimise the amount of waste sent to landfill

• Food and beverage industries
• Commercial buildings
• Automotive manufacturing
• Paper and pulp mills

Screw terminals on the unit make it quick and easy to wire using a screwdriver. They also hold conductors securely, so maintenance is minimal.
