It carries 3 x 3P (3 NO) power poles rated at 80 A in the AC-3 utilisation category — the standard for squirrel-cage motor switching during start-up and run. The 380 V AC coil is built into the assembly, so this is a drop-in unit for a star-delta scheme, not a bare contactor you wire up yourself. For a 380 V supply, that typically covers motors in the 37–45 kW range depending on service factor — a common size for pumps, fans, and compressors on a bottling or process line. ## Where it goes and what it tolerates This starter is built for panel mounting with an IP2X front face — finger-safe from the front, but the enclosure it lives in handles the washdown. The operating range is -40 to 60 °C, with derating allowed up to 70 °C, so it works in a hot panel next to a drive or transformer. Storage tolerance from -60 to 80 °C covers shipping and warehouse extremes. The TH protective treatment per IEC 60068-2-30 confirms it withstands damp heat cycling, so it's fine in humid environments like a beverage line or brewery. Fire resistance at 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1 and V-1 flame retardance per UL 94 mean the housing won't propagate a flame in a fault scenario — important for panel builders needing UL 508A compliance on the overall assembly.","metaTitle":"Schneider LC3D80Q7A64 TeSys D Star Delta Starter, 80 A, 380","metaDescription":"Active-production TeSys D star delta starter from Schneider Electric. 3 x 3P (3 NO) poles, 80 A rated, AC-3 motor control category. 850 °C fire resistance, V-0 flame retardance, IP","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Contactors"],"specifications":{"Range":"TeSys","Product name":"TeSys D","Fire resistance":"850 °C conforming to IEC 60695-2-1","lifecycle_stage":"current","Flame retardance":"V1 conforming to UL 94","Pollution degree":"3","Device short name":"LC3D","Poles description":"3 x 3P","Operating altitude":"3000 m","Device presentation":"Pre-wired","Protective treatment":"TH conforming to IEC 60068-2-30","Utilisation category":"AC-3","Contactor application":"Motor control","Mechanical robustness":"Vibrations contactor open: 2 Gn, 5...300 Hz Shocks contactor open: 8 Gn for 11 ms Vibrations contactor closed: 3 Gn, 5...300 Hz Shocks contactor closed: 10 Gn for 11 ms","IP degree of protection":"IP2X front face conforming to IEC 60529","Product or component type":"Star delta starter","Power Pole Contact Composition":"3 x 3 NO","[Ue] rated operational voltage":"Power circuit: 10 MOhm for signalling circuit","Ambient air temperature for storage":"-60...80 °C","Ambient air temperature for operation":"-40...60 °C 60...70 °C with derating"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/9be87979f349c6d8a8d1681a8d72551f.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://www.se.com/uk/en/product/LC3D80Q7A64/tesys-d-star-delta-starter-3-x-3p-3-no-80-a-380-v-ac-coil/","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/LC3D80Q7A64/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the utilisation category and what does it mean for motor control?","answer":"It is rated AC-3, which covers starting and switching off squirrel-cage motors under load.
