The Schneider Electric TeSys LC4D12AB7 is a direct-on-line (DOL) starter combining a contactor and fuse disconnector in one unit, rated for AC-3 utilisation category — the standard for squirrel-cage motor switching. It carries a 16 A rated operational current (Ie) and a 24 V AC 50/60 Hz coil, so it handles motor starts and stops within that current envelope on a 24 V control circuit.
Motor power coverage across common line voltages
The motor power rating varies by supply: 3 kW at 220–230 V AC, 5.5 kW at 380–400 V / 415 V / 440 V AC, and 7.5 kW at 500 V AC — all at 50/60 Hz. That covers the bulk of European and Asian three-phase motor frames in the 3–7.5 kW band, which is the practical range for this 16 A contactor block.
Mounts to a plate — not DIN rail — so factor in the 173 mm height, 86 mm width, and 98 mm depth when laying out the panel. The plate-mount footprint is standard for the TeSys LC4-D family; leave clearance above for cable entry and below for the coil terminals.
