The LC1G800XXEN is a 3-pole contactor from the TeSys Giga range, rated for motor switching at 335 kW on a 400 V AC line in AC-3e duty — that's the utilisation category for standard squirrel-cage motors with occasional inrush. The same frame carries 700 hp at 460/480 V 60 Hz for North American installs, so the part covers both IEC and NEMA motor tables from one BOM line. That matters when you're stacking contactors in a panel — the heat load adds up, and the 2.8 in (70 mm) connection pitch gives you room to route busbars without crowding the gland plate.
The LC1G800XXEN is in its current lifecycle stage — still an active catalogue number, not a last-time-buy or NRND flag. That means you can spec it into a BOM freeze without worrying about a PCN-driven substitution mid-build. It carries approvals across EN/IEC 60947-4-1, UL 60947-4-1, CSA C22.2 No 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1, so it passes inspection for panels shipping into Europe, North America, and Japan without a separate compliance review.
Mounts on a plate — not a DIN rail — so plan for a drilled backplate or a mounting channel. The power circuit accepts bar connections up to 52 x 20 mm busbar or lugs for 185 mm² cable; the control circuit uses push-in terminals for 0.2 to 2.5 mm² solid or stranded with ferrules. Tightening torque on the main connections is 58 N.m (513.3 lbf.in). The built-in bidirectional peak limiting coil holds at 600 V AC/DC control voltage and draws 400 W inrush DC. That's a DC-powered coil, so if your control transformer is AC, you'll need a rectifier module or a separate DC supply. The closing time is 40 to 70 ms; opening is 15 to 50 ms. Auxiliary contacts are 1 NO + 1 NC built in — enough for a feedback loop to a PLC input or a seal-in circuit. For more aux contacts, you add a side-mount block from the TeSys Giga family.
