It carries three power poles, each with 3 NO contacts, rated at 12 A. The coil pulls in on 220 V AC. This is the packaged starter assembly — contactors already interconnected for star-delta transition — so it saves panel wiring time on a standard motor start scheme. AC-3 category means it is rated for starting squirrel-cage motors and switching them off while running — the 12 A rating governs the motor full-load current it can handle, not the inrush. For a typical 400 V three-phase motor, 12 A AC-3 corresponds roughly to a 5.5 kW load; confirm the motor FLC against the starter rating before committing the BOM line. The IP20 front face means the terminals are finger-safe when mounted in an enclosure, but the starter itself is not sealed against dust or moisture — it needs to live inside a panel or a weatherproof cabinet. Fire resistance to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1 and V-0 flame retardance per UL 94 mean the housing materials meet the thermal runaway standards for enclosed power equipment — important for panel certification to IEC 60947 or UL 508A.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC3D12AM7 TeSys D Star Delta Starter, 12 A, 220 V","metaDescription":"Active TeSys D star delta starter, 3 x 3P (3 NO), 12 A, AC-3 motor control, 220 V AC coil.

The LC3D12AM7 is the 12 A variant with a 220 V AC coil. A higher-current sibling (e.g., LC3D18AM7) shares the same form factor and coil voltage but steps up to 18 A for larger motors. The choice between them is driven by the motor FLC, not by wiring or panel layout."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for this part?","answer":"The part carries fire resistance to 850 °C (IEC 60695-2-1), V-1 flame retardance (UL 94), pollution degree 3, and climatic withstand per IACS and IEC 60947-1 Annex Q category D. Protective treatment is TH per IEC 60068-2-30.
