Product details

The Schneider Electric LE3D18B7 is an enclosed star-delta starter from the TeSys LE range, designed for standard motor starting applications. The 24 V AC control coil makes it a common fit for panels with a 24 V control transformer. Motor power ratings are specified per supply voltage: 11 kW at 220 V AC, 22 kW at 415 V or 440 V AC, and 18.5 kW at 380/400 V AC — all at 50/60 Hz. This covers the common European and Asian industrial voltages in one unit. Ambient operating range is -5 to 40 °C.

If you need a drop-in replacement with the same form factor and ratings, you'll need to evaluate the current TeSys LE range or a comparable enclosed starter from another manufacturer — but that's a re-engineering decision, not a pin-compatible swap.

For a motor drawing 18 A full-load, this starter handles the star-delta transition without welding contacts. The utilisation category AC-3 per IEC 60947-4-1 covers starting and switching off squirrel-cage motors during running. The unit requires a separate thermal overload relay (ordered separately) and mechanical interlock for the star-delta contactors. That's standard for this class — the overload relay sets the actual motor protection, while the starter body handles the switching. Screw-clamp terminals on both power and control circuits are standard for panel wiring.

Frequently asked questions

What replaces the LE3D18B7?

There is no official successor order code listed. A direct replacement would require evaluating the current TeSys LE range or a functionally equivalent enclosed star-delta starter from another brand — this is not a pin-compatible swap.

What are the key ratings for the LE3D18B7?

Rated operational current is 18 A in AC-3 (motor switching). Control coil is 24 V AC 50/60 Hz. Motor power ranges from 11 kW at 220 V to 22 kW at 415/440 V. Enclosure is IP65/IK07.

What standards does the LE3D18B7 comply with?

It is designed to IEC 60947-4-1, the standard for contactors and motor-starters. The IP and IK ratings are per IEC 60529.
