Power contactor, Easy TeSys Control, AC-3, 40A, 3P(1NO 1NC), 230V coil, 50/60Hz LC1E40P7

Power contactor for motor control

This three-pole power contactor from the Easy TeSys Control series is a reliable solution for controlling motors up to 18.5 kW at 400V. Designed for a wide range of applications, from packaging industry to air conditioning systems and pumps, it provides optimal performance and durability. Equipped with a 230V AC (50/60Hz) coil and built-in auxiliary contacts (1NO + 1NC), it simplifies the construction and expansion of control circuits.

Design and application

The LC1E40P7 contactor features a robust construction and the ability to be mounted on a DIN rail, simplifying installation and integration with existing systems. Its compact dimensions (75 mm wide, 127 mm high and 114 mm deep) allow for efficient use of space in switchboards. Screw connections ensure secure and durable connections of power and control wires. Designed for use categories AC-1, AC-3 and AC-3e, which means it can be used for both resistive loads and high-efficiency cage motors (IE3/IE4).

Advantages and benefits

• Versatility: Suitable for controlling motors up to 18.5 kW at 400V, making it an ideal choice for many industrial and commercial applications.
• Built-in auxiliary contacts: It has one normally open (NO) contact and one normally closed (NC) contact, which eliminates the need for additional auxiliary contact blocks in many cases.
• Durability and reliability: Ensures a long service life thanks to the high switching frequency (up to 1200 cycles per hour) and resistance to environmental conditions (operation at temperatures from -5°C to 55°C).
• Easy installation: DIN rail mounting and screw connections simplify installation and maintenance.
• Compliance with standards: Certified according to many standards (IEC, CCC, EAC) and compliant with Green Premium (RoHs/Reach), which guarantees safety and environmental responsibility.
• Optimal selection: 230V AC control voltage is widely available, and the Easy TeSys Control series offers a wide choice of components, allowing easy adaptation to specific needs.
• High efficiency: Adapted to work with high-efficiency IE3/IE4 motors (AC-3e).
• Rated current: The rated operating current is 40A for AC-3 at 400V and 60A for AC-1 at 400V.
