The Schneider Electric LC1E40008F7IN is a 4-pole (2NO+2NC) Easy TeSys Control contactor rated for 72 A in AC-1 utilisation category at up to 415 V, with a 110 V coil. AC-1 covers resistive loads — heaters, lighting banks, non-inductive circuits — so the 72 A figure is the continuous current it can make and break without arc damage. The 4-pole arrangement with two normally-open and two normally-closed contacts gives flexibility for switching both line and neutral or interlocking control circuits in the same package.
The 72 A AC-1 rating governs resistive loads only — do not apply this contactor to motor starting (AC-3) or inductive loads without derating. The 110 V coil means it pulls in reliably on a nominal 110 VAC control circuit; the permissible ambient range of -20 to 70 °C at coil rated voltage and -5 to 55 °C operation covers most indoor panel environments. IP2X finger protection means the contactor body prevents accidental contact with live parts but is not sealed against dust or moisture — mount inside a cabinet with at least IP54 enclosure for washdown areas.
Standards & mounting
Certified to EN/IEC 60947-1, 60947-4-1, and 60947-5-1 plus GB/T equivalents, so it meets the common panel-building standards for contactors and control circuit devices. Fire resistance tested to 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1. TH protective treatment (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068 means it handles typical industrial atmospheres with non-conductive dust and occasional condensation.
