The Schneider Electric LC1E65Q5 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for AC-3 motor switching at 65 A up to 440 V, with a 380 V AC 50 Hz coil. The 65 A AC-3 rating governs motor sizing, not the higher AC-1 resistive rating.
Mounts on plate or DIN rail, 75 mm width, 114 mm depth. IP2X finger protection.
Rated for operation at -5 to 55 °C ambient, with storage down to -60 °C and up to 80 °C. No derating required up to 3000 m altitude, so it is suitable for high-altitude sites like mining or mountain-top installations without recalculating the thermal budget. Compliance documentation covers EN/IEC 60947-1, -4-1, and -5-1, plus the Chinese GB/T equivalents, and the glow-wire test at 850 °C per IEC 60695-2-1 for fire resistance. This satisfies most panel builder certification requirements for CE, UKCA, and CCC markets.
AC-3 motor switching: 65 A at ≤440 V. AC-1 resistive load: higher, but the AC-3 figure is the one that drives motor sizing. Coil: 380 V AC 50 Hz. Mechanical robustness: 3 Gn vibration closed, 7 Gn shock closed — adequate for most industrial environments including conveyors and pumps.
