Schneider Electric LC1D18 Three Phase AC Contactor

Schneider Electric LC1D18 is a 3-pole professional reversing AC contactor that provides forward and reverse control for medium-duty industrial motors up to 5.5 HP at 220 VAC and 12.5 HP at 480 VAC. It features a 240 VAC coil, 1 normally open and 1 normally closed built-in auxiliary contact, and an 18 A AC-3 contact rating with a 12–18 A adjustable overload current range, making it suitable for conveyors, pumps, compressors, mixers, crushers, and material handling equipment in manufacturing, mining, and related environments. The device uses screw clamp terminals, supports mechanical and electrical interlock, and can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel. Its maximum operating voltage is 690 VAC and it comes in a 3-pole configuration for reliable three-phase control. Typical applications include industrial motor control panels requiring reliable forward/reverse operation in conveyors, lifting equipment, packaging machinery, and automated production lines. Common replacements include LC2D18U7 reversing contactor assembly, LC1D25 reversing contactor assembly, and TeSys D reversing starter assemblies.
