Schneider Electric TeSys D LC1D Contactor, 110 V ac Coil, 3-Pole, 18 A, 7.5 kW, 3NO, 690 V ac

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.

• 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.

Looking for a control system switch you can count on? Try this contactor from Schneider Electric's TeSys range. Its contacts open and close in a flash while helping to suppress electrical arcs, so it's a practical choice for switching demanding current loads on and off. As the unit's designed to hold up to repetitive use and tolerates over 15 million mechanical operations, you can count on its reliability through an extended lifespan. A protective cover helps to safeguard the workings against impact damage and contamination. To boost workplace safety, this contactor is flame-retardant, meaning it only burns for a brief time if there's a fire.

• IP20-rated front face is touch-proof and protected against solid objects larger than 12mm
• Screw terminals offer durable wire connections that need minimal maintenance
• Environmentally friendly as it's end-of-life optimised
• Multi-standard screws make it easy to install and operate

• Water and wastewater management
• Mining and minerals processing
• HVAC systems
• Industrial automation

For versatility, you can choose to mount the device onto a panel or simply snap it onto a DIN rail.
