The Schneider Electric TeSys Giga LC1G8004EHES207N is a 4-pole contactor rated for heavy motor switching and power control. It handles 700 hp at 460/480 V 60 Hz and 800 hp at 575/600 V 60 Hz, making it a fit for large induction motors on pumps, compressors, and conveyors in industrial plants. The 48...130 V AC/DC coil with built-in bidirectional peak limiting simplifies control wiring — no external suppression needed.
Rated at 800 A in AC-1 (resistive) duty and 700 hp at 460 V in AC-3 (motor start/run), this contactor is sized for a 400–600 V motor center. The AC-3e rating at 335 kW on 400 V AC confirms it for energy-efficient motors with higher inrush. Mechanical durability of 5 Mcycles means it outlasts most drives in the cabinet — one less spare to rotate. The 70 mm connection pitch and bolted power terminals (accepting busbar up to 52 x 20 mm or lugs up to 185 mm²) demand a plate mount, not a DIN rail; plan for a dedicated backplate in the enclosure.
Standards and compliance — what the approvals tell you
Certified to EN/IEC 60947-4-1 and UL 60947-4-1, so it meets the short-circuit coordination requirements for North American and European motor branch circuits. Also carries CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1 and JIS C8201-4-1, covering installations in Canada and Japan. The UL 60335-1 and UL 60335-2-40:Annex JJ listings extend its use to HVAC equipment — relevant if this contactor lands in a packaged chiller or air-handler panel.
Mounts on a plate — no DIN rail clip. The 509 x 302 x 355 mm (H x W x D) envelope needs a backplate clear of other devices for the 58 N.m tightening torque on the power connections. The IP2X front face with shrouds meets touch protection per IEC 60529; no additional finger-duct cover needed on the front.
