For resistive loads (AC-1), the same contactor carries a higher current, but the AC-3 figure is the one that governs motor selection: 25 A AC-3 maps to roughly a 7.5 kW motor at 400 V three-phase. The 220 V AC coil is a standard control voltage across European and Asian panels, so this part slots directly into existing 230 V control circuits without a transformer tap. Depth is 85 mm, height 74 mm, which keeps the contactor inside a 100 mm deep enclosure. Rated for operation from -5 to 55 °C ambient; storage range is -60 to 80 °C. Standards compliance includes EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, -5-1, plus the GB/T equivalents for China, and EN/IEC 60335-1 clause 30.2 for appliance safety — so this contactor is accepted across EU, UKCA, and CCC jurisdictions without extra testing. ## Switching timing for safety circuits This matters when the contactor is used in a safety circuit that requires a break-before-make gap — for example, switching between a run contactor and a brake contactor where overlapping both would short a DC bus. The 1.5 ms window is consistent across the Easy TeSys range, so swapping a different frame size does not change the timing.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC1E2501M7 Easy TeSys Contactor, 25A AC-3, 220VAC","metaDescription":"Active-production Easy TeSys contactor, 3P (3 NO), AC-3 rated 25 A at ≤440 V, 220 VAC coil.
