TeSys D power contactor AC3 18A 3P 1NO 1NC 230VAC coil LC1D18P5

Motor control power contactor

This 3-pole TeSys D power contactor from Schneider Electric is designed for reliable motor control. A rated current of 18A in AC-3 category and a power of 7.5kW at 400V make it a robust solution for various industrial and construction applications. The contactor has a 230V AC control coil, ensuring compatibility with commonly used mains voltages. Additionally, it is equipped with one normally open (1NO) and one normally closed (1NC) auxiliary contact, which increases its functionality and flexibility in control circuits.

Design and application

The LC1D18P5 contactor features a modular design, making it easy to mount and integrate with other devices. Screw connection of the main contacts ensures secure and durable electrical connections. It is ideal for use in buildings, industrial plants, power supply systems and in water and wastewater management. Compliance with IEC 60335-1 confirms its safety and suitability for domestic installations and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). Compact dimensions (77mm high, 86mm deep and 45mm wide) allow for installation in limited space.

Advantages and characteristic features

• High mechanical durability: designed to operate with a high switching frequency – up to 15 million mechanical cycles and 3600 cycles per hour.
• Integrated auxiliary contacts: standardly equipped with mirrored auxiliary contacts (NO+NC), which allows for direct use in safety circuits in accordance with IEC standards. They are adapted to signals with a minimum current of 1 mA, allowing them to be connected directly to PLCs.
• Easy selection: the short catalog number contains information about the AC-3 rated current, which makes it easier to choose the right model.
• Digital documentation: access to technical documentation via QR code – quick access to product information.
• Compliance with standards: meets applicable industry standards and global standards, including marine and UL certificates.
• Wide range of accessories: the contactor can be adapted to specific application requirements thanks to a rich offer of accessories.
• Ecological design: the product has a Green Premium label, which means compliance with the latest environmental regulations and a low impact on CO2 emissions.
• Durable contacts: Power contacts made of silver-nickel alloy (LC1D09 - LC1D18) or silver and tin oxide (LC1D25+) ensure long-term reliability.
