The Schneider Electric LC1E3801Q7 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 38 A in AC-3/AC-3e utilisation category at ≤440 V — meaning it handles motor switching up to that current under standard induction-motor starting conditions.
Standards and deployment context
The 1.5 ms non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts is a safety feature: it guarantees that the normally-closed and normally-open poles never close simultaneously during coil energisation or de-energisation, which matters in reversing or interlock circuits. The 380 V AC coil is specific — if your control voltage is 400 V or 415 V, verify the coil tolerance; the permissible ambient range is -20 to 70 °C at coil rated voltage, with operation limited to -5 to 55 °C.
