The Schneider Electric LC1E1210P7 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for motor control and resistive loads at 400V with a 5.5kW AC-3 switching capacity. It covers AC-3, AC-3e, and AC-1 utilisation categories, meaning it handles both standard induction motor starting (AC-3) and resistive heating or lighting loads (AC-1) within the same frame.
The 80mm depth and 74mm height leave room for auxiliary contact blocks or a thermal overload relay alongside it in the panel.
Fire resistance tested to 850°C per IEC 60695-2-1. Protective treatment TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30 means it withstands damp-heat cycling typical of non-condensing industrial environments. Operating altitude up to 3000m without derating.
Mechanical and switching characteristics
Guaranteed non-overlap time of 1.5ms between NC and NO contacts on both energisation and de-energisation — this prevents momentary bridging of normally-closed and normally-open circuits during switching, critical for safety interlock circuits. Withstands vibration at 1.5 Gn (open) and 3 Gn (closed) across 5-300 Hz, and shock up to 10 Gn for 11ms when closed, so it holds in on high-vibration conveyor or compressor applications.
