The Schneider Electric LC1E38008V7IN is a 4-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, configured 2NO+2NC and rated for AC-1 resistive loads at 60 A up to 415 V. It is designed for switching resistive heating elements, lighting banks, or other non-inductive loads where inrush current is minimal — the AC-1 utilisation category (per EN/IEC 60947-4-1) defines this duty.
The AC-1 rating of 60 A at 415 V is the resistive-load current the main poles can carry continuously and interrupt without arc damage. Do not apply this contactor to motor or inductive loads at that current — AC-3 or AC-4 duty would require significant derating. The 4-pole arrangement (2NO+2NC) suits applications needing both normally-open and normally-closed power paths in one device, such as dual-speed heater stages or changeover circuits. Mechanical robustness is specified for vibration (3 Gn closed, 1.5 Gn open) and shock (10 Gn closed), which covers most industrial panel environments without additional damping. IP2X protection means the contactor body is finger-safe but not sealed against dust or moisture — it belongs inside an enclosure rated to the line environment.
Fire resistance tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1. Protective treatment is TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068, meaning it tolerates conductive pollution typical of industrial control rooms — not clean-room or outdoor exposure without an enclosure.
