Schneider Electric LC1D186BD Direct On Line Contactor

Schneider Electric LC1D186BD is a TeSys D three-pole direct-on-line contactor designed for AC-3 motor-control duty. It features three normally open contacts (3 NO), a nonreversing configuration, and an open-style housing, with a 24 V DC coil for fast, reliable actuation. Rated for up to 440 V AC and 18 A, the LC1D186BD can switch motors up to about 7.5 kW at 400 V AC3 (roughly 10 HP at 480 VAC). As part of Schneider Electric’s TeSys Deca family, it offers robust switching performance in a compact form factor suitable for control panels and motor-start circuits. The 24 V DC coil enables straightforward integration with common PLC and automation systems, making it a common choice for pumps, fans, conveyors, and other industrial loads that require reliable on/off control of AC motors. This model is designed for direct-on-line switching in industrial environments and is a compatible part for Schneider Electric equipment libraries and typical plant control architectures.
