Schneider Electric SE LC1D18B Reversing Starter

Schneider Electric SE LC1D18B Reversing Starter is a TeSys D three‑pole motor control device engineered for forward and reverse operation of a single three‑phase motor. Rated for 230 V and 18 A, it is designed to handle motor loads up to roughly 5 HP at 230 VAC, with a control coil rated at 24 VAC for convenient integration with low‑voltage control circuits. This reversing starter enables simple direction changes by coordinating two contact paths in a forward/reverse arrangement, commonly used in equipment such as conveyors, hoists, pumps, and fans in light industrial automation. The 24 VAC coil supports typical control circuitry, and the unit is compatible with Schneider Electric overload accessories and enclosure options within the TeSys D family to meet your protection and mounting needs. When planning installation, verify that your motor’s full‑load current stays within the 18 A rating, confirm the coil voltage matches your control supply, and implement proper wiring practices per local electrical codes and Schneider Electric guidelines. The LC1D18B family is known for compact footprint and standardized IEC contactor performance, making it a practical choice for panel builders seeking reliable motor reversal capability in a single compact starter assembly.
