The Schneider Electric TeSys K LC1KU7A80 is a 3-pole contactor with one normally open auxiliary contact, designed for motor control duty. Its 230...240 V AC coil and 16 A rated operational current in AC-3 utilisation category make it suitable for switching three-phase induction motors up to that current in DOL starter configurations like the LE1M135.
The 16 A rating under AC-3 duty governs motor switching capability — this is the current the contactor can make and break across inductive motor loads. The 3-pole configuration with 3 NO main poles handles three-phase circuits. The 230...240 V AC coil voltage must match the control circuit supply; verify your panel's control transformer taps before committing the BOM line. Rated for operation up to 2000 m altitude without derating, which covers most standard industrial installations. The 57 mm depth fits standard DIN-rail enclosures, though panel layout should account for the contactor's full envelope including wiring clearance.
