The Schneider Electric LC1E3201B5 is a 3-pole (3NO) contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 32 A in AC-3 utilisation category at ≤440 V for switching squirrel-cage motors, and 32 A in AC-1 for resistive loads. The 24 V AC 50 Hz coil draws its control power from a standard control transformer; the integrated 1 NC auxiliary contact provides a feedback or interlock signal without an add-on block.
The IP2X finger-safe enclosure protects against accidental contact in open panels.
AC-3 at 32 A means this contactor makes and breaks motor starting current (typically 6–8× FLA) and carries the running load — sized for a motor drawing roughly 32 A full-load, which on 400 V three-phase corresponds to about 18 kW. The AC-1 rating covers resistive heating or lighting loads at the same current. The 1.5 ms non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts on both energisation and de-energisation is a safety feature: it guarantees the NC auxiliary opens before the NO main poles close, preventing a momentary short across interlocked circuits.
Sourcing posture
No second-source cross-reference needed; the Easy TeSys Control series is the current-generation economy line from Schneider, positioned below the TeSys D series for applications where compact size and basic motor switching are sufficient.
