The LE4D12V7A05 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter from the Schneider Electric TeSys LE range, designed for standard motor-starting applications in industrial environments. It is rated for AC-3 utilisation category, switching motor loads up to 5.5 kW at 380/400 V AC and 7.5 kW at 500 V AC, with a conventional free-air thermal current (Ith) of 12 A. The enclosure carries IP65 and IK07 ratings, meaning it withstands hose-directed water and low-energy mechanical impacts — suited for standalone mounting in washdown areas or outdoor cabinets without additional protection.
This part is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The IP65 enclosure and IEC 60947-4-1 certification mean the original specification is well-documented, which simplifies compliance documentation for replacement procurement.
The 400 V AC control coil matches standard European panel voltages; verify coil compatibility if the control circuit is 230 V or 24 VDC. The associated fuse rating of 16 A aM (10 x 38 mm) provides short-circuit protection coordination per IEC 60947-4-1.
Enclosure and integration
The polycarbonate enclosure measures 330 mm high, 186 mm wide, and 175.5 mm deep, with multiple cable-entry knockouts (ISO20, ISO25, ISO32, ISO40) on both top and bottom faces. The push-button reset (blue R) is the only operator on the cover — no start/stop buttons, so the starter is intended for remote control via the contactor coil circuit. Thermal overload relay and fuse disconnector are ordered separately as part of the device composition.
