TeSys K AC3 12A 3P 1NO power contactor 230VAC coil screw terminals LC1K1210P5

Compact contactor for motor control

This 3-pole TeSys K power contactor from Schneider Electric is a reliable solution for controlling motors and resistive loads. Designed for performance and durability, the LC1K1210P5 offers compact dimensions – 45 mm wide, 58 mm high, and 57 mm deep – making it easy to mount in tight spaces. This contactor is part of the popular TeSys K series, known for its reliability and wide range of applications in industrial automation.

Performance and application

The LC1K1210P5 contactor features a rated AC-3 operating power of 7.5 kW at 400 V and a rated current of 16 A. This makes it ideal for applications requiring frequent motor switching. The rated operating current for AC-1 is 20 A, which expands its range of applications. Designed to operate at a control voltage of 230 V AC (50 Hz), this contactor is compatible with most standard control systems. The NEMA rated power is 5.6 kW, confirming its versatility and compliance with various standards.

Construction and connections

Equipped with screw connections, the contactor provides secure and durable wire connections. It has one normally open auxiliary contact (1NO), which can be used to signal the contactor status or to control other devices. The modular design allows for easy integration with other automation system elements, such as thermal relays or circuit breakers. The contactor is designed for use category AC-3 according to IEC 60947-4-1, which means it is optimized for controlling induction motors.
