Product details

It comes pre-wired with a 380 V AC coil, so it lands ready for panel integration without additional wiring on the contactor assembly. Built for motor control duty, this starter handles the transition from star to delta on three-phase induction motors up to the rated current. The AC-3 category means it's designed for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors under load — the typical use in conveyors, pumps, and compressors.

Because it's a star delta starter with a specific 380 V AC coil voltage, the drop-in replacement depends on the exact wiring and panel layout. No official successor order code is listed; a cross-reference to a current TeSys D part requires verifying the coil voltage and pole configuration against the application.

Environmental and mechanical ratings

The front face carries IP2X protection — finger-safe against accidental contact, but not sealed against moisture or dust. Flame retardance is V-1 per UL 94, and the part withstands 850 °C glow-wire test per IEC 60695-2-1. Operating temperature range is -40 to 158 °F (-40 to 70 °C) at rated coil voltage, with storage from -76 to 176 °F (-60 to 80 °C). The altitude rating of 3000 m without derating covers most installations outside high-altitude mining or mountain sites.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to the LC3D18AQ7?

No official successor order code is published. A current TeSys D star delta starter with the same pole configuration and 380 V AC coil would be the closest functional match, but the exact replacement depends on verifying the coil voltage and mounting footprint against the application.

What range and series does the LC3D18AQ7 belong to?

It belongs to the TeSys range, specifically the TeSys D product line of contactors and motor starters.
