The Schneider Electric LC1E2510E5 is a 3-pole EasyPact TVS contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 25 A in AC-3 utilisation category at up to 440 V, with a 48 V AC coil. It is designed for motor control and resistive load switching in industrial control panels. The AC-3 rating means it handles starting and stopping of squirrel-cage motors — the 25 A figure governs the motor full-load current it can switch, not the resistive load. For resistive loads (AC-1), the rating is higher, but the AC-3 number is the one that decides fit for motor duty.
It also meets GB/T 14048.1, 14048.4, and 14048.5 for the Chinese market, and EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance and HVAC applications. Fire resistance is tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1. Protective treatment is TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30, meaning it withstands humid, tropical environments.
Mounts on DIN rail or plate, with dimensions 45 mm wide, 74 mm high, and 85 mm deep. The non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts is 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation — this matters for interlocking circuits where a break-before-make sequence is required to prevent shoot-through.
