Product details

TeSys LC4-D DOL starter — 40 A, 48 V AC coil

The Schneider Electric LC4D40E7 is a direct-on-line (DOL) starter from the TeSys LC4-D range, combining a contactor and fuse disconnector in one plate-mounted assembly. Rated at 40 A operational current (Ie) under AC-3 utilisation category, it is sized for squirrel-cage motor starting across a wide voltage band: 11 kW at 220–230 V AC, 18.5 kW at 380–400 V, 22 kW at 415–500 V, and 30 kW at 660–690 V, all at 50/60 Hz. The 48 V AC coil suits control circuits fed from a step-down transformer — common in machine-tool and conveyor panels where low-voltage control is standard for operator safety.

AC-3 duty and motor coordination

AC-3 utilisation category means this starter is rated for starting squirrel-cage motors and disconnecting them while running — the standard duty for most industrial motor branches. The 40 A continuous rating sets the thermal budget for the main poles; coordination with an overload relay (such as the TeSys LR2 or LRD series) is required to provide motor overload and phase-loss protection. The starter itself does not include integral overload protection — that is added externally between the contactor and the motor.

Plate-mounted design with a footprint of 281 mm wide × 143 mm tall × 130 mm deep. The depth is the dimension behind the panel — relevant when boxing into a shallow enclosure or when gland plates and busbars reduce available clearance. Width of 281 mm means it occupies roughly 11 inches of backpanel real estate; plan for side-access to the fuse disconnector handle and coil terminals. The LC4 prefix indicates the integrated fuse-switch disconnector upstream of the contactor, saving a separate fuse base and reducing wiring labour.

Listed as current production (active lifecycle stage). No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy date is recorded for this order code. For new panel designs or BOM freeze, the LC4D40E7 is a standard catalogue item within the TeSys range, meaning supply continuity is typical for the series.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the LC4D40E7 and the LC1D40?

The LC4D40E7 is a DOL starter that integrates a contactor and a fuse disconnector in one assembly. The LC1D40 is a bare contactor only — it lacks the upstream fuse-switch disconnector. If your panel requires branch-circuit short-circuit protection integrated with the starter, the LC4D40E7 saves a separate fuse base and wiring. If you already have a separate disconnect or are using a motor circuit protector (MCP), the LC1D40 contactor alone may be the correct choice.

Does the LC4D40E7 include overload protection?

No. The LC4D40E7 is a DOL starter combining a contactor and fuse disconnector, but it does not include an integral overload relay. An external overload relay — such as the TeSys LR2 or LRD series — must be added between the contactor output and the motor to provide thermal overload and phase-loss protection.

What are the specifications of the Schneider LC4D40E7?

The LC4D40E7 is a TeSys LC4-D DOL starter rated at 40 A operational current (Ie) with a 48 V AC 50/60 Hz coil. Motor power ratings: 11 kW at 220–230 V AC, 18.5 kW at 380–400 V, 22 kW at 415–500 V, and 30 kW at 660–690 V AC, all at 50/60 Hz. Utilisation category is AC-3. Mounting is plate-mount; dimensions are 281 mm wide × 143 mm high × 130 mm deep.

What is the compatible overload relay for the LC4D40E7?

The TeSys range offers overload relays in the LR2 and LRD series that are mechanically and electrically compatible with LC4-D contactors. Selection depends on the motor full-load current and the required trip class. For a 40 A contactor, an overload relay with an adjustment range covering the motor FLA — typically 30–40 A — is appropriate. Confirm the specific relay order code against the motor nameplate.
