The LC1E160U7 is a 3-pole contactor from Schneider Electric's Easy TeSys Control range, rated 160 A in AC-3 duty at 440 V — that's the motor-switching current for squirrel-cage induction motors, so it handles a 160 A locked-rotor make and break without welding contacts. The same pole set carries 100 A in AC-3e (enhanced motor switching) and the full 160 A in AC-1 resistive load duty, which covers heater banks or lighting panels where inrush is minimal. The coil is 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, with a guaranteed non-overlap time of 1.5 ms between NC and NO contacts on both energisation and de-energisation — that matters when you're interlocking a reversing starter or a bypass circuit where both contactors must never close simultaneously.
Depth is 132 mm, which leaves room for front-facing auxiliary blocks or a mechanical interlock.
