Rated 265 A in AC-3 duty at ≤ 440 V, this starter handles motor loads up to 250 kW at 440 V AC or 220 kW at 400 V AC. The AC-3 category means it is designed for starting squirrel-cage motors and switching them off while running — the standard utilisation category for motor control per IEC 60947-4-1. The control coil is 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, with an operational range of 0.85 to 1.1 Uc and a drop-out range of 0.35 to 0.55 Uc. Inrush power is 650 VA at 40...400 Hz, cos φ 0.9 at 20 °C; steady-state heat dissipation is 8 W. The 265 A AC-3 rating is the current the starter can make and break under motor-starting conditions. For a 400 V supply, that translates to roughly 220 kW motor power; at 440 V it reaches 250 kW. If your motor plate calls for a star-delta start at these power levels, this unit is sized correctly. The auxiliary contact complement is built in: 1 NC + 1 NO on the star contactor (KM1), 2 NC + 1 NO on the line contactor (KM2), and 1 NC + 2 NO on the delta contactor (KM3). That is enough for status feedback, interlocking, and a PLC input without adding an external aux block. For a motor starter that sees frequent starts — say a conveyor or compressor cycling every few seconds — that rate is well within the part's capability. The mechanical robustness figures (5 Gn vibration closed, 15 Gn shock closed) confirm it holds contact under industrial vibration. This is a plate-mount assembly, not a DIN-rail snap-on. Dimensions are 625 mm wide × 110 mm high × 266 mm deep. Plan for a backplate or sub-panel that accommodates the footprint and the M10 bolted power connections. Power circuit terminals accept bar (32 × 4 mm busbar), lugs-ring terminals up to 240 mm², or a connector for 240 mm² cable. Control circuit terminals are screw clamp, accepting 1...4 mm² flexible or solid. Tightening torque for the power circuit is 35 N.m — a substantial connection that needs a torque wrench, not a screwdriver. Control circuit torque is 1.2 N.m. The assembly is pre-wired, so the interlocking between contactors is already in place. The 3 × 3P pole configuration (three power poles per contactor, three contactors) gives 9 NO main poles total. Associated fuse protection is 400 A gG or 315 A aM at ≤ 440 V — coordinate your upstream short-circuit protection accordingly. The LC3F265U7A64 is a specific pre-wired variant. If your application needs a different control voltage or a non-pre-wired configuration, the TeSys F range includes other order codes.","metaTitle":"Schneider TeSys F LC3F265U7A64 Star-Delta Starter, 265 A AC-","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric TeSys F LC3F265U7A64 star-delta starter.
