Schneider Electric LC1D38 Reversing Contactor

Schneider Electric LC1D38 Professional Reversing Contactor provides reliable forward and reverse control for three‑phase motors in industrial motor control systems. A 3‑pole device with a 38 A AC‑3 rating supports motor loads up to 13.5 HP at 220 VAC and 25 HP at 480 VAC, making it suitable for conveyors, crushers, pumps, compressors, mixers, and other material handling equipment. The coil operates at 24 VAC (50/60 Hz), a common choice for PLC‑controlled and low‑voltage control circuits, and the unit includes one built‑in NO and one NC auxiliary contact for basic interlocking and signaling. Interlocking is both mechanical and electrical, enhancing safe operation, while mounting options include DIN rail or panel mount and screw clamp terminals for secure wiring. The contactor is rated for a maximum operational voltage of 690 VAC and is designed for continuous industrial duty in manufacturing and material handling environments. Compliance covers IEC 60947, UL, CSA, and RoHS, ensuring compatibility with global control panels. For replacements, LC2D38B7, LC1D50, and TeSys D assemblies are listed as common options. This LC1D38 unit is a compact, high‑capacity choice when robust forward/reverse motor control is required alongside simple integration with existing Schneider Electric motor control systems.
