The Schneider Electric LC1E65008M5WB is a 4-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 80 A in AC-1 utilisation category (resistive loads) at up to 440 V. The coil is 220 V AC 50 Hz wide-range, with a drop-out threshold of 0.3 to 0.6 Uc and operational range of 0.7 to 1.25 Uc across -5 to 55 °C.
For motor starting (AC-3 duty), you would need to derate; the part is not listed with an AC-3 rating in this evidence. The 4-pole configuration (2 NO + 2 NC) gives flexibility for switching multiple circuits or implementing interlocking without adding auxiliary contact blocks — the auxiliary contact composition is listed as 'without', so the main poles are the only switching elements. Mechanical durability is 5 million cycles, and electrical durability is 350,000 cycles at AC-1 — a solid lifespan for a resistive-load contactor in continuous-duty applications like conveyor heaters or industrial ovens. The maximum operating rate of 1200 cycles per hour at 60 °C means it can handle frequent switching if needed.
This class of contactor is used in industrial control panels for switching resistive loads — heating elements, lighting banks, or transformer primaries — where the current is sinusoidal and inrush is minimal. The IP2X finger protection and pollution degree 3 rating suit it for general industrial environments, not clean rooms or wet areas.
