The utilisation categories cover AC-1 (resistive), AC-3 (squirrel-cage motor starting/running), and AC-4 (plugging/inching), so it handles both standard motor starts and more demanding reversing or jogging applications. This class of reversing contactor is used in motor control panels for applications that require direction reversal: conveyors, hoists, winches, door operators, pumps, and small machine tools. The preassembled reversing busbar simplifies wiring and reduces panel space compared to wiring two separate contactors with an interlock. The 1 NC auxiliary can be wired as an electrical interlock to prevent both contactors from closing simultaneously.","metaTitle":"TeSys K LP2K1201KD Reversing Contactor, 3P, 12 A AC-3, 100 V","metaDescription":"TeSys K LP2K1201KD reversing contactor, 3P, AC-3 <= 440 V 12 A, 1 NC, 100 V DC coil.

Verify your motor full-load current at your supply voltage and your control circuit voltage match these."},{"question":"What is the closest alternative in the TeSys K family?","answer":"Within the TeSys K range, the LP2K1201BD is the same reversing contactor but with a 24 V DC coil. The LP2K0901KD is a lower-current variant (9 A AC-3). Neither is pin-compatible in the sense of a drop-in replacement — the coil voltage must match your control circuit. If you need a different coil voltage, the TeSys K family covers 24 V DC, 48 V DC, 110 V DC, and 220 V DC variants in the same form factor."},{"question":"What compliance documentation is available for this part?","answer":"The contactor carries V1 flame retardance per UL 94 and meets NF F 16-101/102 for rail applications. The IP20 rating is per VDE 0106. Standard Schneider Electric declarations (RoHS, REACH, CE, UKCA) are available on request.
