The Schneider Electric LC1E80Q5 is a 3-pole contactor from the Easy TeSys Control range, rated 80 A in AC-3/AC-3e utilisation category at ≤440 V, with a 380 V AC 50 Hz coil. This is the motor-switching rating — the current it can make and break under full-load starting conditions for standard three-phase induction motors.
The LC1E80Q5 carries compliance to EN/IEC 60947-1, EN/IEC 60947-4-1, and EN/IEC 60947-5-1, plus the Chinese GB/T 14048 equivalents. It also meets EN/IEC 60335-1 Clause 30.2 and EN/IEC 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance applications. Protective treatment is TH (pollution degree 3) per IEC 60068-2-30, meaning it withstands tropical humid environments — relevant for unheated enclosures or coastal installations.
Mounts on plate or DIN rail. Dimensions are 85 mm wide, 127 mm high, 121 mm deep — fits a standard 3-pole contactor footprint on a DIN-rail panel. IP2X finger protection per IEC 60529. The non-overlap time between NC and NO contacts is guaranteed at 1.5 ms on both energisation and de-energisation, which matters for interlocking circuits where a momentary short across poles must be avoided during transition.
Environmental limits
Operates at -5 to 55 °C ambient, stores at -60 to 80 °C. No derating required up to 3000 m altitude. Mechanical robustness: 1.5 Gn vibration (open), 3 Gn (closed); shock 6 Gn (open), 7 Gn (closed) for 11 ms — suitable for industrial panels on vibrating machinery or in mobile equipment applications.
