Overview
The LC1F400U7 is a Schneider TeSys F three-pole contactor rated for 500 A switching current, energized by a 240 V AC coil, and listed for AC-3, AC-1, and AC-4 duty cycles. It dissipates 14 W at rated load, carries a 3.2 kA breaking capacity, and is protected to IP20 on the front face with shrouds.
The 500 A switching current and 0.26 mOhm average impedance at Ith 500 A mean the contactor is sized for heavy motor or resistive loads; the associated fuse rating of 400 A aM or 500 A gG at ≤ 440 V guides upstream protection. With a 3.2 kA breaking capacity and 8 kV withstand, it suits installations requiring high fault-current coordination.
Compared to the LC1D150M7, which switches 200 A, the LC1F400U7 handles 500 A — a 300 A delta — making it the correct choice when the load exceeds 200 A or when the panel requires the higher breaking capacity.
