The Schneider Electric LC1E80008M5WB is a 4-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 100 A in AC-1 duty at ≤440 V — that's the resistive load curve, so it's sized for heaters, lighting banks, or other non-inductive circuits where inrush stays low. The 220 V AC 50 Hz coil pulls 200 VA inrush at 50 Hz, then settles to 6–10 W heat dissipation on the control side. Pole composition is 2 NO + 2 NC, with no built-in auxiliary contacts — you add those separately if the circuit needs feedback or interlocking. Rated insulation voltage hits 690 V, and the breaking capacity at 440 V is 640 A, so it clears faults cleanly within its AC-1 envelope.
Power terminals accept up to 50 mm² cable (solid or flexible with ferrule), torqued to 12 N·m. Control-circuit screw clamps take 1–4 mm² at 1.2 N·m. IP20 finger-safe protection is fine for enclosed panels; not rated for washdown environments.
AC-1 at 100 A is the headline number — it's the thermal current the main poles carry continuously in resistive service. Don't substitute a motor-rated (AC-3) contactor here unless you verify the coil and pole count match; this part is specced for resistive loads, not inductive motor starts. Mechanical durability is 3 million cycles, electrical durability 350,000 cycles at AC-1 — so it's built for frequent switching in oven or furnace control, not a once-a-day pump start. Operating altitude goes to 3000 m without derating, so it works in high-elevation plants without a current haircut.
