The Schneider Electric LC1E40E7 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 40 A in AC-3 and AC-3e duty at voltages up to 440 V — meaning it switches three-phase motor loads up to that current under typical starting conditions. It also carries an AC-1 utilisation category for resistive loads, so the same block can handle heater banks or lighting circuits without derating for inductive kick.
Depth is 114 mm, which clears most shallow enclosures but check gland-plate clearance if the contactor sits near the back wall.
Standards and environmental rating
IP2X finger protection on the contactor body; operating ambient -5 to 55 °C, storage -60 to 80 °C. Altitude derating starts above 3000 m.
