Overview
The LC2D50AKUE is a Schneider TeSys Deca reversing IEC contactor, preassembled with its reversing power busbar, rated for 50 A switching current across AC-1 and AC-3 utilization categories. The 250 V AC coil pulls in reliably; the 3-pole 3NO contact form handles motor reversing without external interlocking. It carries CCC, CSA, UL, and DNV-GL approvals, is sealed to IP20, and is rated for 3.0 hp at 60 Hz — a drop-in reversing solution for moderate motor loads.
Compared to the LC2D65AKUE, which switches 80 A and carries a 5.0 hp rating, the LC2D50AKUE is the correct choice when the motor load stays under 50 A and the panel's coil supply is 250 V AC — the LC2D65AKUE also uses a 250 V AC coil, so the decision is purely on current and horsepower headroom.
