The Schneider Electric LC1E120M6 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 120 A in AC-3 duty at up to 440 V — that is the motor-switching current, not the resistive load rating. The 220 V AC 60 Hz coil pulls in cleanly across the standard line voltage in North American and other 60 Hz markets. It carries EN/IEC 60947-4-1 and GB/T 14048.4 approvals, so it is accepted in both European and Chinese panel builds without a separate certification step.
The 120 A AC-3 rating governs motor switching — it handles the inrush and breaking of a motor load up to that current. For resistive loads (AC-1), the contactor can carry a higher current, but the AC-3 figure is the one that decides whether it holds on a pump or conveyor start.
Operates at -5 to 55 °C without derating, stores at -60 to 80 °C. Altitude rating of 3000 m means no current derating up to that elevation — relevant for plant sites in highland regions. Protective treatment TH (pollution degree 3) handles humid, non-condensing environments per IEC 60068-2-30.
