It comes preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so you don't have to wire the mechanical interlock and bus links yourself. That saves panel-build time and reduces the chance of a wiring error that could let both contactors pull in at once. Rated operational voltage on the power circuit goes to 690 V AC 50/60 Hz, but the AC-3 motor-switching rating is what governs real-world selection: 16 A at ≤440 V. AC-4 rating (inching/plugging duty) is also listed, so it handles the reversing cycles that generate higher electrical wear on the contacts. The 24 V AC coil draws from a control transformer — common for panel layouts where 24 VAC control is already on the DIN rail.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys K LC2K1610B72 Reversing Contactor, 16 A AC-3","metaDescription":"Schneider TeSys K reversing contactor LC2K1610B72, 3P, 16 A AC-3 at 440 V, 24 V AC coil, 1 NO aux, IP20.
