The Schneider Electric LC1E2501R5 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 25 A in AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories at voltages up to 440 V. The 440 V AC 50 Hz coil and single NC auxiliary contact make it a direct-fit replacement in legacy motor-control circuits that were built around this exact coil voltage and frequency.
The 25 A AC-3 rating is the motor-switching current: it governs how large an induction motor this contactor can start and stop under full-load conditions. The AC-3e category adds an energy-efficiency variant for modern premium-efficiency motors. The 440 V AC coil means the contactor pulls in reliably on a 440 V line-to-line supply at 50 Hz — common in European and Asian industrial panels. The IP2X finger-protection rating on the contactor body meets basic touch-safety requirements inside an enclosed panel.
It also meets GB/T 14048.1, GB/T 14048.4, and GB/T 14048.5 for the Chinese market. The 850 °C glow-wire test per IEC 60695-2-1 confirms flame-retardant behaviour. Full declarations of conformity for these standards are available from the manufacturer's documentation portal.
