The AC-3 rating of 16 A at ≤440 V governs motor switching — this contactor starts and stops a 3-phase induction motor drawing up to 16 A full-load current. AC-4 rating covers inching and plugging, where the contactor opens under stalled-rotor current; expect reduced electrical life under that duty. The 3-pole (3 NO) main contacts and 1 NC auxiliary are built in — no add-on block needed for basic interlock feedback. IP20 finger-safe terminals suit enclosed panel mounting; keep the panel door closed during operation. The preassembled reversing busbar saves panel space versus two separate contactors plus mechanical interlock. Operating altitude 2000 m without derating; ambient temperature range -25 to +50 °C. Flame retardance meets UL 94 V1 and NF F 16-101/102 for rail and industrial panel compliance.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys K LC2K1601E72 Reversing Contactor, 16A AC-3,","metaDescription":"TeSys K reversing contactor LC2K1601E72, 3P, AC-3 <=440V 16A, 1 NC aux, 48V AC coil.
