The Schneider Electric TeSys F LC3F225M7A64 is a pre-wired star delta starter, purpose-built for motor control under AC-3 utilisation category. It integrates three contactors (line, star, delta) with mechanical interlocking and a pre-configured control circuit, so the buyer gets a single order code that replaces a multi-part assembly on the BOM. Motor power ratings are 200 kW at 380/400 V AC and 220 kW at 440 V AC, both 50/60 Hz. The control circuit is 220/230 V AC 50/60 Hz, with an inrush of 805 VA at 50 Hz and 970 VA at 60 Hz. That inrush matters for transformer sizing in the panel — a 1 kVA control transformer is the practical minimum. Rated making capacity is 2250 A and breaking capacity is 1800 A per IEC 60947-4-1, which means it can close onto and interrupt locked-rotor currents without welding the main poles. The associated fuse recommendation is 315 A gG or 250 A aM up to 440 V — use the aM curve for motor starting duty.
Mounts on a plate, not DIN rail. The footprint is 20.7 in wide by 9.3 in deep by 4.3 in tall. Power connections use M10 bolts or busbars up to 32 x 4 mm; lugs up to 185 mm² are accepted. Control wiring is screw-clamp, 1 to 4 mm² flexible with ferrule. Torque power connections to 35 N·m and control to 1.2 N·m. IP20 on the front face with shrouds per IEC 60529 and VDE 0106 — suitable for enclosed panel installation, not for washdown environments. The TH protective treatment adds resistance to humidity and mild corrosive atmospheres. Auxiliary contact complement is pre-configured: 1 NC + 1 NO on the star contactor, 2 NC + 1 NO on the line contactor, 1 NC + 2 NO on the delta contactor. That covers the interlocking and signalling needs for a standard star-delta start without adding auxiliary blocks.
Certified to EN 60947-1, EN 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-4-1, and JIS C8201-4-1. Rated insulation voltage is 1000 V per IEC 60947-4-1 and 1500 V per VDE 0110 group C.
