The 440 V AC 60 Hz coil means it's a direct-fit replacement in panels wired for that supply — no coil-voltage conversion needed. It also handles resistive loads (AC-1) at the same current levels, so it covers heater banks or lighting circuits on the same line. Mounts on DIN rail or a backplate, with IP2X finger protection from the front. The 132 mm depth and 120 mm width fit a standard modular footprint — no surprises when swapping into an existing panel layout. The Easy TeSys Control series has been superseded by newer contactor families, but the LC1E160R6's coil voltage (440 V AC 60 Hz) and 160 A AC-3 rating are specific enough that a direct drop-in may not exist. A cross-reference to a current-series part requires checking the mounting footprint and coil termination — something a sourcing specialist can confirm against the panel drawing. The headline number is 160 A in AC-3 — that's the motor-switching current at 440 V, which governs whether this contactor handles the locked-rotor and break current of a 75–90 kW induction motor on a 400 V line. The AC-3e rating at 100 A reflects the enhanced electrical endurance for frequent switching (conveyor start-stop cycles, for instance). That matters for safety circuits where a mechanical overlap could short power and control — the contactor holds the gap even as the armature moves. Altitude rating of 3000 m without derating means it's fine for high-altitude installations (mountain sites, mining) where air density drops and standard contactors lose interrupting capacity. That covers the contactor's performance under motor-starting and control-circuit conditions across European and Asian markets.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC1E160R6 Easy TeSys Contactor, 160A AC-3, 440V Co","metaDescription":"Obsolete Easy TeSys 3P contactor, 160A AC-3 / 100A AC-3e at ≤440V, 440V AC 60Hz coil.
