The LC1E50E7 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 50 A in AC-3 duty at ≤440 V — that is the motor-switching current for a 3-phase induction motor, not the resistive-heater rating. The 48 V AC coil draws from a control transformer or separate 48 VAC supply; verify the control circuit voltage before wiring. Mounts on DIN rail or a backplate, so it fits standard panel layouts. Rated for AC-3 (motor starting), AC-3e (enhanced motor starting with reduced electrical wear), and AC-1 (resistive load) utilisation categories. For motor loads, the 50 A rating governs; for resistive heating elements, the AC-1 current rating is higher — but the ledger does not list a separate AC-1 value, so treat the AC-3 figure as the binding limit unless the load is purely resistive and you have the manufacturer's derating curve.
Deployment context
The DIN-rail or plate mounting means it integrates into a standard enclosure alongside other Easy TeSys components — overload relays, auxiliary contact blocks, and busbars. Operates at altitudes up to 3000 m without derating, and the permissible ambient temperature range is -20 to 70 °C at the coil voltage, with storage from -60 to 80 °C.
