The Schneider Electric TeSys F LC1F6304FE7 is a 4-pole power contactor rated for 1000 A in AC-1 utilisation category (resistive load) at up to 440 V AC, with a 115 V AC 50/60 Hz control coil. This is a heavy-duty, plate-mounted contactor sized for large resistive heating banks, furnace control, or distribution switching where the load current is continuous and non-inductive. The 4 NO power pole configuration means all four poles close together — no built-in auxiliary contacts, so plan for an external auxiliary block if you need status feedback to the PLC.
The headline number is 1000 A at ≤440 V AC in AC-1. AC-1 covers resistive loads — heaters, ovens, incandescent lighting — where the current inrush is near the steady-state value. Do not apply this contactor to motor starting (AC-3) or mixed loads without derating; the TeSys F range has separate AC-3 rated variants for that duty. The 115 V AC coil holds between 0.85 and 1.1 Uc and drops out between 0.25 and 0.5 Uc — verify your control transformer sizing, especially if the line voltage sags under heavy load. The 20 W heat dissipation at rated current means the panel ventilation must clear that thermal load; plate mounting on a steel backplate helps conduct heat away.
Plate-mounted — no DIN rail clip. The power circuit uses bar-type terminals accepting up to 60 x 5 mm busbars, typical for 1000 A class switchgear. Control circuit wiring is screw-clamp, 1 to 4 mm² flexible or solid. Tightening torque: 58 N.m on the power connections, 1.2 N.m on the control circuit. The IP20 front face with shrouds meets IEC 60529 and VDE 0106 for finger-safe front-of-panel access, but the rear terminals are live when the contactor is closed — enclosure required.
Designed and tested to IEC 60947-4-1, EN 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1. The rated insulation voltage is 1000 V per IEC 60947-4-1, 1500 V per VDE 0110 group C. Impulse withstand voltage is 8 kV, overvoltage category III — suitable for fixed-installation distribution panels. The TH protective treatment indicates tropicalisation for humid environments.
