It integrates three contactors (star, line, delta) with an internal interlocking scheme, ready for plate mounting. Motor power capability spans 110 kW at 220/230 V up to 250 kW at 440 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The control circuit is 115 V AC 50/60 Hz, with an inrush power of 650 VA and a hold-in consumption of 10 VA. Closing time is 40...65 ms; opening takes 100...170 ms. The 265 A AC-3 rating at ≤55 °C is the headline number for motor starting. Below that temperature, the contactor set handles the locked-rotor and acceleration current of a squirrel-cage motor. The rated making capacity is 2650 A and the breaking capacity is 2120 A, both per IEC 60947-4-1 — these are the transient fault-clearing figures that matter when a motor stalls or a phase shorts. The front face with shrouds carries IP20 protection per IEC 60529 and VDE 0106, suitable for enclosed panel mounting. Plate mounting is required — no DIN-rail clip. Power connections use M10 bolts, accepting lugs or busbars up to 32 x 4 mm or cable up to 240 mm². Control wiring uses screw clamp terminals accepting 1...4 mm² flexible or solid wire. The LC3F265FE7 is designed and tested to IEC 60947-4-1 and EN 60947-4-1, the core standards for contactors and motor-starters. Rated insulation voltage is 1000 V per IEC 60947-4-1 and 1500 V per VDE 0110 group C. The protective treatment is TH (tropicalized) for humid environments.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys F LC3F265FE7 Star Delta Starter, 265 A AC-3,","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric TeSys F LC3F265FE7 star delta starter. 265 A rated operational current (AC-3), 115 VAC 50/60 Hz control.
