The Schneider Electric LC1E1801M5WB is a 3-pole (3 NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 32 A in AC-3 utilisation category at 400 V. That AC-3 rating means it's sized for starting and stopping squirrel-cage induction motors under load — the standard duty for a motor contactor. The 220 V AC coil is a wide-range type, so it holds in across a broader voltage band than a fixed-coil part, which helps on lines where supply sag is a concern.
Environmental limits that matter for the line
Rated for -20 to 70 °C storage, -5 to 55 °C operation. That operating range covers most non-conditioned plant floors. Mechanical robustness: 3 Gn vibration closed, 10 Gn shock closed — solid for conveyor-adjacent mounting where intermittent vibration is the norm.
