The Schneider Electric LC1E80M6 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated for 80 A in AC-3 duty at ≤440 V, with a 220 V AC 60 Hz coil. That AC-3 rating means it's sized for starting and stopping squirrel-cage induction motors under load — the most common contactor job in a control panel. It also carries AC-3e and AC-1 utilisation categories, so it handles motor starts with extended electrical life (AC-3e) and resistive heating loads (AC-1) without derating. The contactor mounts on either a DIN rail or a plate, giving panel builders flexibility on layout.
This contactor is rated for operation up to 3000 m altitude without derating, and the TH protective treatment (pollution degree 3 per IEC 60068-2-30) means it's built for humid, mildly corrosive environments — think HVAC plant rooms, pump houses, or unheated warehouses. Mechanical robustness is specified at 1.5 Gn vibration (contacts open) and 3 Gn (closed), plus shock ratings of 6 Gn open and 7 Gn closed — enough for most industrial machinery but not for direct engine-mount on a genset.
It complies with EN/IEC 60947-1, 60947-4-1, and 60947-5-1, plus GB/T equivalents for the Chinese market. It also meets EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance and HVAC applications.
