The Schneider Electric LE4D12N7 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter from the TeSys LE range, designed for standard motor starting applications. It is a complete assembly — contactor, fuse disconnector, and enclosure — with a thermal overload relay ordered separately. Motor power capability depends on supply voltage: 3 kW at 220/230 V AC, 5.5 kW at 380/400/415/440 V AC, and 7.5 kW at 500 V AC (all 50/60 Hz).
It also carries IK07 impact resistance per IEC 60529. Dimensions are 330 mm high, 186 mm wide, and 175.5 mm deep. Cable entry options include multiple ISO20, ISO25, ISO32, and ISO40 knockouts on both top and bottom faces, providing flexibility for panel gland plates or direct conduit entry.
Standards and compliance basis
The starter is designed and certified to IEC 60947-4-1, the international standard for contactors and motor-starters. This standard covers the AC-3 switching category and the associated breaking and making capacities for motor loads. The unit is also rated for an associated aM fuse of 16 A (10 x 38 mm) for short-circuit protection coordination.
