The LE4D25E7 is a TeSys LE enclosed direct-on-line starter from Schneider Electric, rated 25 A conventional free-air thermal current with a 48 V AC 50/60 Hz control coil. It is designed for standard industrial environments, switching motor loads up to 11 kW at 380/400/415/440 V AC or 15 kW at 500 V AC in AC-3 duty. The polycarbonate enclosure carries IP65 and IK07 ratings, meaning it withstands hose-directed water and low-energy impacts — suitable for standalone mounting near the motor rather than inside a central panel.
The 25 A thermal current (Ith) is the continuous current the starter can carry in free air — this governs the conductor sizing and the upstream protection. The AC-3 utilisation category means the starter is rated for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors, not resistive loads; the motor power table (11 kW at 400 V, 15 kW at 500 V) is the practical selection guide. The 48 V AC control coil is uncommon in modern 24 VDC panels — verify your control voltage before specifying, as a coil mismatch is a common field issue with this generation of starters.
Deployment context
The IP65 polycarbonate enclosure allows this starter to be mounted directly on the machine frame or near the motor in washdown areas, without a separate panel. Cable entries are sized for ISO20, ISO25, ISO32, and ISO40 glands on both top and bottom faces. The unit ships without a thermal overload relay — that is ordered separately and must be specified to complete the motor protection scheme.
