Schneider Electric LC1D65AB7 Three-Phase Contactor

The LC1D65AB7 TeSys D three-pole contactor from Schneider Electric is a non-reversing power switch rated for 65 A in AC-3 duty, designed to control three-phase motors and other inductive loads. It uses three normally open contacts (3NO) and a 24 V AC coil that operates at 50/60 Hz, enabling straightforward control from standard PLC or control circuits. This model is specified for AC-3 operation up to 440 V AC, making it suitable for a wide range of motor circuits, with horsepower compatibility that scales with supply voltage (approximately 20 HP at 200–208/230–240 V, 40 HP at 480 V, and 50 HP at 575–600 V). As part of the TeSys D family, LC1D65AB7 is commonly employed in motor starter configurations, typically paired with overload relays to protect motors in applications such as conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools. The 24 V AC coil supports convenient integration with standard industrial control systems, while the 65 A rating provides a robust margin for medium-sized motors. Built for industrial environments, this Schneider Electric contactor is widely stocked by distributors, enabling easy replacement or upgrade within existing TeSys D installations.
