Product details

The Schneider Electric LC2K1610N7 is a TeSys K reversing contactor — a 3-pole unit rated for AC-3 duty at 16 A up to 440 V, with a 400…415 V AC coil and one normally open auxiliary contact.

The AC-3 rating at 16 A means it directly switches a three-phase induction motor up to roughly 7.5 kW at 400 V — the category covers starting and running of squirrel-cage motors, which is the dominant load for a reversing contactor in conveyor, hoist, or pump applications. The 690 V AC rated operational voltage on the power circuit gives headroom for 480 V or 575 V systems, but the AC-3 current must be derated above 440 V per the thermal curve.

Frequently asked questions

What replaces the LC2K1610N7?

There is no official pin-compatible replacement in the TeSys K series. A redesign to a current TeSys D reversing contactor (e.g., LC2D series) is the typical path, but the footprint, coil voltage, and auxiliary contact arrangement must be verified against the existing panel layout.

What are the key ratings of the LC2K1610N7?

It is a 3-pole reversing contactor rated AC-3 at 16 A up to 440 V, with a 400…415 V AC coil and one NO auxiliary contact. The power circuit is rated for 690 V AC, and the unit is IP20 with an operating temperature range of -25…50 °C.
