Schneider Electrics LC1 contactors combine long mechanical and electrical life to offer a highly reliable contactor. The LC1 contactors offer quick and simple setup while maintaining compliance with international standards.

• Typically, applications include resistive loads and motor control
• Highly reliable
• Excellent quality
• Easily installed accessories
• Built-in coil suppression
• 3 NO poles
• 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary contact composition
• Operating time when closing
• Contactors suffixed BL accept front mount auxiliary contact blocks but only the 2-contact version, they do not accept side mounted contacts

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

Need to safely manage motor switching in your industrial settings? Trust the job to this contactor from Schneider Electric. It has a coil that generates a magnetic field to close the contacts when it's energised, giving you precise control of your machine. The unit is designed to handle heavy-duty applications, thanks to its 10kW power rating. It's also constructed to ensure safe operation, with a protective cover and finger-safe terminals to stop you from making contact with live parts. This component weighs just 490g, so it's easy to handle during installation.

• Withstands operating temperatures between -40°C and +60°C, making it safe for use in demanding conditions
• DIN rail mounting is simple and doesn't need complex tools, saving time and hassle
• Integrated suppression module prevents damage from transient voltages
• Mechanical durability of 30 million operating cycles assures you of long-term performance

• HVAC systems
• Construction sites
• Automotive industry

This unit falls into the AC-1, AC-3 and AC-4 utilisation categories. This means that you can use it for squirrel cage motors, as well as non-inductive loads.
