The AC-3 rating is the one that matters for motor loads: it means the contactor is tested and rated to switch inductive motor currents up to 16 A, making it suitable for controlling a 7.5 kW motor on a 380...415 V supply or a 5.5 kW motor at 440 V, for example. The motor power table covers a wide voltage range — from 4 kW at 220...230 V up to 7.5 kW at 380...415 V and 4 kW at 480 V through 660...690 V — so the same part can be specified across different line voltages without changing the order code. That simplifies BOM management if your plant runs mixed-voltage zones. At 45 mm wide, 58 mm tall, and 57 mm deep, this contactor fits the standard compact footprint of the TeSys K range. The V1 flame-retardant housing per UL 94 is standard for this class and meets the basic enclosure safety requirement for control panels. ## Withstand and coordination The short-time withstand current (Icw) is rated at 115 A for 1 second on the power circuit, stepping down to 55 A at 1 minute and 25 A for sustained periods over 15 minutes. These numbers matter for selective coordination with upstream protective devices — the contactor can ride through a downstream fault long enough for the breaker or fuse to clear, without welding its own contacts.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC1K16016M7 TeSys K Contactor, 16 A AC-3, 220-230","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric LC1K16016M7 TeSys K contactor, 3-pole, 16 A AC-3 at ≤440 V, 220-230 VAC 50/60 Hz coil, 1 NC aux.
