TeSys K power contactor 12A 3P 1NO 24VDC coil screw-type terminals LP1K1210BD

Power contactor for motor control – reliability and compact size

The TeSys K LP1K1210BD contactor from Schneider Electric is a 3-pole device designed for reliable motor control. A rated current of 12A at AC-3 load (4kW/400V) combined with a 24V DC coil and one 1NO auxiliary contact makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications. Compact dimensions (45 x 58 x 57 mm) allow for easy installation even in limited space.

Construction and application

This contactor is ideal for use in motor power circuits, providing safe and efficient switching of the load. Its construction based on screw terminals guarantees solid wire connections, and the high quality of workmanship translates into long life and trouble-free operation. The 1NO auxiliary contact allows easy integration with control and signaling systems. Characteristic C allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, so it tolerates starting devices with a motor well.

Key features and benefits

• High performance: Rated power up to 5.5 kW at 400V AC-3 provides efficient motor control of various powers.
• Compact dimensions: Allow mounting in tight spaces, optimizing the use of space in control cabinets.
• Versatility: Suitable for controlling various types of loads, including resistive and inductive (AC-1, AC-3, AC-4).
• Reliability: Made of high-quality materials, guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Easy integration: Has a 1NO auxiliary contact to facilitate connection to control and signaling systems.
• Safety: Compliance with IEC 60947-4-1/-5-1 standards ensures safe operation of the device.
• Adapted to frequent work cycles: Switching frequency up to 3600 cycles per hour allows operation in demanding industrial applications.

This contactor is a solid choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable solution for motor control. It protects the circuit against overload and short circuit - like most circuit breakers in this class.
