That AC-1 rating means it's suited for switching resistive heaters, lighting banks, or other non-inductive loads where inrush is minimal. The coil is 220 V AC at 50 Hz, wide-range, with a pickup of 0.7...1.25 Uc and dropout at 0.3...0.6 Uc. It's a current-production part, so no last-time-buy scramble. The power circuit accepts up to 10 mm² flexible with cable end, control circuit up to 4 mm². IP20 finger-safe protection means it's intended for inside an enclosure, not exposed to washdown. The 2 NO + 2 NC pole configuration gives you flexibility for interlocking or auxiliary load switching without an add-on block. The headline number is 55 A AC-1 at <40 °C. If you're switching motor loads (AC-3), you'll need to derate significantly — the AC-1 rating is not the motor rating. The rated breaking capacity is 256 A at 440 V, and the making capacity is 320 A at 440 V, both per IEC 60947. That gives you headroom for occasional overloads or short-circuit let-through, but the associated fuse is 63 A gG at 690 V for coordination type 1. Heat dissipation runs 2...3 W for the control circuit and 5 W per pole in AC-1 duty. That's modest — you can pack several of these on a DIN rail without forced cooling in most panels. The average impedance of the power circuit is 2.5 mOhm at 55 A, 50 Hz, so voltage drop across the contacts stays under 0.14 V at full load. Mechanical durability is 8 million cycles, electrical durability 350,000 cycles at AC-1. The maximum operating rate is 1800 cycles per hour at 60 °C. That's fine for frequent cycling in a process line. Vibration resistance is 3 Gn closed, 1.5 Gn open, and shock resistance 10 Gn — solid for industrial environments. Protective treatment is TH conforming to IEC 60068 — that's tropicalized for humid environments.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric LC1E32008M5WBIN Easy TeSys Contactor, 55","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric LC1E32008M5WBIN Easy TeSys Control contactor. 55 A AC-1 rated operational current, 220 VAC 50 Hz coil, 4-pole (2 NO + 2 NC).
