The Schneider Electric TeSys F LC1F185V7 is a 3-pole, direct on-line contactor rated for switching motor loads up to 90 kW at 380-400 V AC in AC-3 duty (cites:). The 400 V AC coil pulls in at 0.85 to 1.1 times its rated control voltage and drops out between 0.2 and 0.55 Uc (cites:). Rated operational current is 275 A at 185 A in AC-3 at ≤ 440 V (cites:). Mounts to a plate (cites:). The power circuit accepts bar connections (25 x 3 mm busbar), ring terminals, or bolted lugs for 150 mm² cable (cites:). Control wiring uses screw-clamp terminals accepting 1 to 4 mm² flexible or solid (cites:). Tightening torque is 18 N.m on the power side, 1.2 N.m on the control side (cites:).
At 415 V it delivers 100 kW, at 440 V also 100 kW, and at 500 V it reaches 110 kW (cites:). For AC-4 duty (plugging, inching) the rating drops to 33 kW at 400 V — that is the reversing or jogging limit, not the continuous running load (cites:). The utilisation categories (AC-3, AC-4, AC-1) are certified to IEC 60947-4-1 (cites:,). Rated breaking capacity is 1480 A conforming to IEC 60947-4-1 (cites:). The associated fuse recommendation is 200 A aM or 315 A gG at ≤ 440 V (cites:). Mechanical durability is 10 million cycles (cites:). Maximum operating rate is 2400 cycles per hour at 55 °C (cites:). Heat dissipation runs 8 to 9.8 W total, with 12 W per pole in AC-3 and 25 W per pole in AC-1 (cites:,).
Designed and tested to IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-1, EN 60947-1, EN 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1 (cites:). Rated insulation voltage is 1000 V per IEC 60947-4-1 and 1500 V per VDE 0110 group C (cites:). Overvoltage category III (cites:). IP2X front face with shrouds per IEC 60529 and VDE 0106 (cites:). Protective treatment TH for tropical environments (cites:).
