Schneider Electric LC1D12BD Three Phase Contactor

Schneider Electric LC1D12BD is a TeSys Deca 3-pole, non-reversing IEC contactor with three normally open contacts designed for controlling three-phase motors and other AC loads. It uses a 24 V DC coil to switch AC power up to 440 VAC on AC-3 duty and carries a rated current of 12 A, with horsepower ratings around 3 HP at 230/240 VAC and 7.5 HP at 480 VAC (up to 10 HP at 600 VAC depending on supply). The device offers a short-circuit current rating (SCCR) up to 100 kA and employs screw-clamp terminals for secure wiring. As part of Schneider Electric's TeSys D family, the LC1D12BD provides a compact 3P configuration with open-style construction suitable for installation in industrial control panels, making it well-suited for motor control in applications such as conveyors, fans, pumps, and machine tools where reliable isolation and switching of a three-phase load are required.
