Contactor role and key ratings
The Schneider LC1G150BEEA is a 3-pole TeSys Giga contactor rated for motor switching in AC-3e duty at 75 kW on a 400 V line, with a 24–48 V AC/DC coil. Built-in bidirectional peak limiting holds the coil inrush to 220 W DC, and the drop-out range (15–50 ms opening) avoids nuisance chatter during dips. Mechanical durability is 8 million cycles; the contactor can cycle 600 times per hour in AC-3 and AC-3e, 150 per hour in AC-4. That tells you it can handle high-rate motor starts without wearing out early.
Where and how it fits
Mounts on a plate (not rail). Power terminals accept bars (25x6 mm) or ring lugs up to 185 mm²; control circuit uses push-in terminals for 0.2–2.5 mm² stranded or solid. Tightening torque for power connections is 18 N·m. Front face with shrouds gives IP2X protection (IEC 60529). The TH protective treatment (tropicalization) handles humid environments. Associated fuse recommendation: 160 A aM or 315 A gG for short-circuit coordination.
Compliance and sourcing posture
Lifecycle stage is current — no end-of-life notice. It carries UL 60947-4-1, CSA, IEC, and JIS certifications, qualifying it for panels in North America, Europe, and Japan. Sourced to order against RFQ. This is an active catalog part; lead time and pricing depend on your volume and preferred region. Submit an RFQ to lock a line for your BOM.
