The Schneider LC1G800EHES207N is a TeSys Giga three-pole contactor rated for heavy motor switching and power control up to 800 hp at 460/480 V 60 Hz or 560 kW at 690 V AC in AC-3e duty. It carries a 48-130 V AC/DC coil with built-in bidirectional peak limiting, so no external varistor or RC snubber is needed on the coil circuit.
Motor power spans 300 hp at 200/208 V up to 800 hp at 575/600 V 60 Hz; on 400 V 50/60 Hz it handles 335 kW in AC-3e and 375 kW in AC-4 — meaning it covers both normal starting (AC-3e) and high-stress reversing/plugging (AC-4) without derating the coil. Power dissipation per pole is 70 W at AC-1 (1050 A Ith) and 42 W at AC-3 (800 A Ith); that heat needs ventilation in the enclosure, especially if multiple contactors are ganged.
Mounts on a plate (not DIN rail) — the 70 mm connection pitch and bolted power terminals (bar or lug-ring up to 185 mm²) are sized for a panel or motor control center bucket, not a small enclosure. The control circuit uses push-in terminals (0.2-2.5 mm² solid or stranded), so wiring the coil and aux contacts is quick with no screwdriver needed.
Listed as current production. This is the standard catalog part for new designs and replacement orders. It carries UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1 approvals — accepted in North American, European, and Japanese panels without additional certification work.
