The LC1E3801BD is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 38 A in AC-3 and AC-3e utilisation categories at ≤440 V, with a 24 V DC coil and one normally-closed auxiliary contact built in. AC-3 and AC-3e are the standard duty classes for squirrel-cage motor switching — making and breaking locked-rotor currents during start/stop cycles. The 38 A AC-3 rating means it handles motor loads up to roughly 18.5 kW at 400 V three-phase, depending on the specific motor full-load current. The 24 V DC coil is common in PLC-controlled panels and safety circuits where a low-voltage DC supply is available. The single NC auxiliary contact can be wired as a feedback signal to confirm the contactor has dropped out.
