The Schneider Electric LC1E2501Q6 is a three-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 25 A in AC-3 duty (motor switching) at up to 440 V, with a 380 V AC 60 Hz coil and one normally-closed auxiliary contact.
The AC-3 rating of 25 A at ≤440 V means this contactor is sized for a 3-phase induction motor drawing up to that current under full-load starting conditions — a typical fit for a 7.5 kW motor on a 400 V supply. The 380 V AC coil matches a 60 Hz control supply; if your panel runs 50 Hz, confirm coil dropout characteristics before specifying. The contactor carries a 1.5 ms non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts on both energisation and de-energisation, which prevents simultaneous closure of the main and auxiliary poles — important for interlocking circuits where a momentary short across the coil could cause a fault. It is rated for operation up to 3000 m altitude without derating, and the TH protective treatment (pollution degree 3 per IEC 60068-2-30) means it withstands humid, mildly corrosive environments typical of industrial control panels.
The LC1E2501Q6 complies with EN/IEC 60947-1, 60947-4-1, and 60947-5-1, plus the Chinese GB/T equivalents, and meets the glow-wire test at 850 °C (IEC 60695-2-1). It is also listed for use in appliance circuits per EN/IEC 60335-1 and -2-40. The IP2X degree of protection means it is finger-safe but not sealed against dust or moisture — suitable for enclosed panel mounting.
