The TeSys LC4D12AM7 is a DOL starter combining a fuse disconnector and contactor in one plate-mount package. Rated 16 A operational current in AC-3 utilisation category, it handles motor loads up to 5.5 kW at 380…400 V AC and 7.5 kW at 500 V AC — the 220 V AC coil variant means it's a drop-in for panels with a 220 V control supply.
The 16 A AC-3 rating is the motor-switching current, not the thermal continuous current — AC-3 covers starting and plugging of squirrel-cage motors, so this starter is sized for a 5.5 kW motor on a 400 V supply. The plate-mount footprint (98 mm deep, 86 mm wide, 173 mm tall) bolts directly to a backplate; no DIN rail required. The 220 V AC coil matches a common control transformer secondary — verify your control voltage before committing.
