The Schneider Electric LC1G2654EHES207N is a TeSys Giga 4-pole contactor rated for 265 A in AC-3 duty at 400 V, meaning it switches a 132 kW motor load at that voltage. The AC-3 rating is the one that governs motor starting and stopping — the 385 A AC-1 resistive rating is higher, but for motor loads the 265 A AC-3 figure is the one that decides fit. The control circuit accepts 48…130 V AC 50/60 Hz or 48…130 V DC, with a built-in bidirectional peak limiting coil that holds in across the full range. Drop-out threshold sits between 0.1 and 0.45 Uc, so it releases cleanly on undervoltage without chatter.
Plate-mounted, not DIN-rail snap-on — the 225 mm height and 140 mm width (45 mm pole pitch) need a backplate or mounting plate. Power connections are bolted: bar up to 32 x 10 mm busbar or lugs up to 185 mm². Control wiring uses push-in terminals accepting 0.2…2.5 mm² solid or 0.25…2.5 mm² flexible with ferrule. Tightening torque is 35 N·m on the power circuit. Front face with shrouds achieves IP2X per IEC 60529 and VDE 0106 — finger-safe but not sealed against moisture. The TH protective treatment adds humidity resistance for non-condensing environments.
Certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1 (contactors and motor-starters), EN/IEC 60947-5-1 (control circuit devices), UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, JIS C8201-4-1, and UL 60335-1 / UL 60335-2-40 Annex JJ for appliance applications. Overvoltage category III — suitable for fixed-installation distribution panels.
Current production — no EOL or NRND status. The TeSys Giga series is the latest heavy-duty contactor platform from Schneider, replacing the earlier TeSys F and TeSys D ranges for high-current applications. For a BOM line requiring a 4-pole, 265 A AC-3 contactor with a 48…130 V coil, this order code is the direct fit. No pin-compatible alternative exists within the same family — the LC1G range is modular but each rating has a fixed pole count and current frame.
