The same unit carries an AC-1 rating for resistive loads, but the 38 A AC-3 figure is the one that governs motor control applications. The coil is wound for 240 V AC at 50 Hz — not a 50/60 Hz universal coil. If your control voltage is 240 V but the line frequency is 60 Hz, the coil impedance changes and the pick-up/drop-out voltages shift; this part is specified for 50 Hz only. ## DIN-rail or plate — panel integration flexibility Mounts on either a standard DIN rail or a mounting plate, giving the panel builder the choice between snap-on rail assembly and screw-fixed plate mounting. The 56 mm width and 84 mm height fit a standard contactor footprint — no surprises when laying out a motor control centre. The 1NC auxiliary contact is built in, so you get a normally-closed feedback signal for status indication or interlocking without adding a separate auxiliary block. The non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts is guaranteed at 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation — this matters when the contactor is used in a safety circuit where simultaneous closure of NC and NO paths must be prevented. ## Active lifecycle — no phase-out to plan around Compliance documentation covers EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (the motor-starter standard), EN/IEC 60947-5-1 (control-circuit devices), and GB/T equivalents for the Chinese market. Fire resistance is tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1, and the protective treatment meets TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30 — suitable for humid, non-condensing environments.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC1E3801U5 Easy TeSys Contactor, 38 A AC-3","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric LC1E3801U5 Easy TeSys Control contactor, 3-pole (3NO), 38 A in AC-3/AC-3e, 240 V AC 50 Hz coil, 1NC auxiliary.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Contactors"],"specifications":{"Depth":"86 mm","Range":"Easy TeSys","Width":"56 mm","title":"LC1E3801U5","Height":"84 mm","Standards":"EN/IEC 60947-1 EN/IEC 60947-4-1 EN/IEC 60947-5-1 GB/T 14048.1 GB/T 14048.4 GB/T 14048.5 EN/IEC 60335-1:Clause 30.2 EN/IEC 60335-2-40:Annex JJ","description":"Schneider Easy TeSys Control LC1E3801U5 contactor, 3-pole (3NO), AC-3/AC-3e, 38 A, 240 V AC coil 50 Hz, 1NC auxiliary, IP2X, DIN-rail/plate mount, discontinued.","Fire resistance":"850 °C conforming to IEC 60695-2-1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Mounting support":"Plate DIN rail","Non-overlap time":"1.5 ms on energisation guaranteed between NC and NO contact 1.5 ms on de-energisation guaranteed between NC and NO contact","Range of product":"Easy TeSys Control","Device short name":"LC1E","Poles description":"3P","Operating altitude":"3000 m without derating","Protective treatment":"TH (pollution degree 3) conforming to IEC 60068-2-30 test Db","Utilisation category":"AC-3 AC-3e AC-1","Contactor application":"Motor control Resistive load","Mechanical robustness":"Vibrations contactor open (1.5 Gn, 5...300 Hz) Vibrations contactor closed (3 Gn, 5...300 Hz) Shocks contactor closed (10 Gn for 11 ms) Shocks contactor open (6 Gn for 11 ms)","IP degree of protection":"IP2X conforming to IEC 60529","Product or component type":"Contactor","[Ue] rated operational voltage":"Power circuit: 10 MOhm for control circuit","Permissible ambient air temperature around the device":"-20...70 °C at Uc -60...80 °C storage -5...55 °C operation"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$46.44","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/3c2f8c720e743d996f3afa2e239bd9ce.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/vn/en/product/LC1E3801U5/contactoreasy-tesys-controllc1e3p3noac3-ac3e440v38a240v-ac-coil50hz1nc-auxiliary-contact/"},"ai":{"faq":[],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/LC1E3801U5","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/LC1E3801U5 when reusing this data.
