The Schneider TeSys F LC3F225U7A64 is a pre-wired star delta starter designed for motor control in the AC-3 utilisation category — the standard duty for squirrel-cage induction motors during starting and running. It carries a rated operational current of 225 A at ≤440 V AC, which translates to motor power ratings of 100 kW at 220/230 V, 200 kW at 380/400 V, 200 kW at 415 V, and 220 kW at 440 V, all at 50/60 Hz. The unit is pre-wired with three power poles (3 x 3 NO) and includes auxiliary contacts: 1 NC and 1 NO for the KM1 star contactor, 2 NC and 1 NO for KM2 line, and 1 NC and 2 NO for KM3 delta. Control circuit voltage is 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz, with an operational range of 0.85 to 1.1 Uc and drop-out between 0.35 and 0.55 Uc.
For a 200 kW motor at 400 V, that's the operating point this part is sized for. The rated making capacity is 2250 A (IEC 60947-4-1), and the breaking capacity is 1800 A, so it can handle the inrush and fault-clearing demands of that motor class. The heat dissipation range of 18 to 24 W gives the panel designer a figure for thermal management inside the enclosure.
Mounting is plate-based (not DIN rail), so plan for a dedicated backplate or mounting panel. Dimensions are 525 mm wide, 110 mm high, and 235 mm deep — a substantial footprint that needs clear access for the power circuit bolted connections (M10 bolts) and busbar cross-section of 32 x 4 mm. Power circuit terminals accept lugs or ring terminals up to 185 mm²; control circuit uses screw clamp terminals accepting 1 to 4 mm² flexible or solid wire. The TH protective treatment indicates a tropicalized coating for humidity and corrosion resistance.
The starter complies with EN 60947-1, EN 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 60947-1, and JIS C8201-4-1. Rated insulation voltage is 1000 V per IEC 60947-4-1 and 1500 V per VDE 0110 group C.
