Schneider Electric LC1D12 Three Phase Contactor

Schneider Electric LC1D12 TeSys D three‑phase contactor is a 3‑pole motor starter rated for 12 A in AC‑3 duty up to 400 V, making it suitable for direct‑on‑line starting of small to mid‑size three‑phase motors. In the 24 V DC coil variant (LC1D12BD), it can switch loads up to 5.5 kW at 400 V AC3; coil voltages vary by variant, with other versions offered in common AC or DC coil voltages depending on the exact part. The unit features screw‑terminal connections for straightforward wiring and is designed to integrate with Schneider Electric overload relays and control gear within standard IEC control panels. Typical applications include motors in conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools, where reliable, compact switching of 3‑phase loads is required and the 12 A rating at 400 V AC3 provides a practical balance of current handling and package size.
