Schneider Electric TeSys D LC1D Contactor, 230 V ac Coil, 3-Pole, 18.5 kW, 3NO

TeSys Deca contactor, 3 poles (3NO), for motor control applications up to 32A/690V AC-3/3e (15kW@400V). They can be used to create motor starters for almost any type of application. It provides a 230V 50/60Hz AC coil, 1NO+1NC built-in auxiliary contacts (NC mirror certified), connection by spring terminals. For operating rates until 3600 cycles/hour and environments until 60°C, it procures high reliability and durability. Compact (45mm width), DIN-rail mounting or screw fixing. Contactor is rated for 7.5HP at 200 to 208VAC, 10HP at 240VAC, 20HP at 480VAC and 30HP at 600VAC three phase. Multi standards certified (IEC, UL, CSA, CCC, EAC, Marine), Green Premium compliant (RoHS/REACh). Contactor is supplied with a 230 VAC 50/60 Hz coil. Contactor has one normally open and one normally closed auxiliary contact built-in as standard. The NC contact is mirror certified. Spring terminals are used for load and auxiliary connections. An extensive line of accessories makes it easy to meet the requirements of most applications. The contactor is 3.90 inches tall, 1.77 inches wide and 3.62 inches deep. It weighs 0.83 lbs. Contactor is certified to UL, CSA, IEC, CCC, EAC and Marine standards. Contactor also meets the requirements of RoHS/REACh making it a Green Premium product.

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.

Yes, the Tesys D range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.
