The Schneider Electric TeSys K LC1K06013Q7 is a three-pole contactor rated for AC-3 and AC-4 utilisation categories, meaning it is built for switching motor loads under full load and plugging/inching duty. Its rated operational current is 6 A at ≤440 V AC in AC-3 service, which translates to motor power handling of 1.5 kW at 220-230 V AC, 2.2 kW at 380-415 V AC, and 3 kW across the 440-690 V AC range — covering common global voltage bands without a derate step at the top end.
Mounting and integration into a panel
The contactor measures 45 mm wide by 58 mm tall by 57 mm deep — a compact footprint that fits standard 45 mm DIN-rail spacing and leaves a 57 mm gutter depth for wiring. The three NO main poles and one NC auxiliary contact are clearly labelled on the moulding; the auxiliary is wired separately via a screw terminal.
Short-circuit withstand and fault handling
The power circuit can withstand 90 A for 1 second, 80 A for 10 seconds, and 45 A for 1 minute — these ratings define how long the contactor can carry fault current before the upstream protection must clear. For the signalling circuit (the auxiliary), the withstand is 90 A for 500 ms and 110 A for 100 ms. These numbers matter when coordinating with a motor circuit protector or fuse: the contactor should not be the weak link in a short-circuit event.
