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.

• Typically, applications include resistive loads and motor control
• Highly reliable
• Excellent quality
• TeSys D Green contactors keep the same high resistance to shock and vibration as TeSys D, their coils offer a wider control voltage band and a lower permanent consumption
• 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.

The Schneider Electric LC1D40ABBE model is a 4-pole contactor featuring a utilisation category of AC-1 and AC-3. The control circuit voltage is 24 V DC with 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary contact composition. The rated operation current is 60 A (at <60 °C) at <= 440 V AC-1 for power circuit and 40 A (at <60 °C) at <= 440 V AC-3 for power circuit.
