Overview
The LC1E1810M5 is a Schneider Electric Easy TeSys Control contactor, 3-pole (3NO), rated 18 A in AC-3 utilization category, with a 220 V AC 50 Hz coil and one normally-open auxiliary contact. It carries certifications under CB Scheme, CCC, CE, and EAC, and is rated IP2X per IEC 60529 for in-cabinet mounting on a DIN rail or plate.
Function & operation
This contactor switches motor and resistive loads in AC-3 and AC-1 duty. The 18 A rating covers small three-phase motors, while the 1NO auxiliary contact provides status feedback or interlocking.
Applications
Typical installations include motor starters for conveyors, pumps, fans, and compressors in commercial and light industrial machinery. The AC-3 rating suits squirrel-cage motor switching; AC-1 covers resistive heating loads.
