The Schneider Electric LC1E80008N5WB is a 4-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for resistive load switching (AC-1 utilisation category) at 100 A up to 440 V AC. It has 2 normally-open and 2 normally-closed main poles, with no built-in auxiliary contacts — you add those separately if needed. The 100 A AC-1 rating means this contactor is sized for resistive heater banks, lighting, or transformer primary switching — not for motor starts.
That covers most industrial control applications globally. No UL or CSA mark is listed in the spec sheet, so if you need UL for a North American panel, double-check the specific variant or request the UL-marked version from the Easy TeSys family.
The coil draws 200 VA inrush at 50 Hz (cos φ 0.75) and dissipates 6–10 W in the control circuit — enough to factor into your control transformer sizing if you're switching multiple contactors simultaneously. The drop-out voltage is 0.3–0.6 Uc, so it releases reliably down to about 125 V AC on a 415 V coil. Mechanical durability is 3 million cycles, electrical durability 350,000 cycles in AC-1 duty. That's typical for a contactor in this class — plenty for most resistive load applications. The maximum operating rate is 1200 cycles per hour at 60 °C, so it can handle frequent cycling in a process heater or oven control. The power circuit terminals accept solid or flexible cable up to 50 mm², with a tightening torque of 12 N.m. The associated fuse recommendation is 160 A gG at ≤690 V for type 1 coordination — that's the fuse size to spec in your panel for short-circuit protection. That's the peak current it can close onto or interrupt without welding or damage, giving you selectivity headroom in a fault scenario.
