The coil accepts 24–48 V AC or DC with built-in bidirectional peak limiting, reducing inrush stress on the control supply. Mechanical endurance is rated at 8 million cycles, making it suitable for high-cycle applications like conveyors and pumps. ## Ratings you need to know The AC-3 Ith of 265 A is the continuous thermal current under motor switching conditions; that’s the number to compare against your motor full-load cur-rent plus headroom. Power dissipation per pole is 11 W at that rating, so panel thermal buildup is manageable. Rated breaking capacity is 2380 A at 440 V, and making capacity is 3320 A — both well above the service current, giving solid fault closing capability. The contactor carries UL and CSA certifications for North American installations, plus JIS for Japan and full IEC 60947-4-1 compliance. Plate-mount design; the power circuit accepts bar (up to 32x10 mm) or lugs up to 185 mm², bolted. Control circuit uses push-in terminals for 0.2–2.5 mm² stranded or solid. Tighten power connections to 35 Nm. Auxiliary contacts: 1 NO + 1 NC built in, no additional modules for basic feedback.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC1G265BEEA TeSys Giga 3P Contactor, 24-48V","metaDescription":"Current-production 3-pole TeSys Giga contactor, 265 A AC-3 Ith, 24-48 V AC/DC coil, UL/IEC compliant.
