The Schneider Electric LE4D25FE7 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter from the TeSys LE range, rated for 25 A conventional free air thermal current (Ith) with a 115 V AC 50/60 Hz control coil. It is a complete assembly in an IP65 polycarbonate enclosure, meaning it is ready for standalone mounting in washdown or dusty environments without a separate panel — the enclosure and cable entries (ISO20 through ISO40, top and bottom) are built in. Rated for AC-3 utilisation category per IEC 60947-4-1, this starter is sized for standard squirrel-cage motor switching: 11 kW at 380/400/415/440 V AC and 15 kW at 500 V AC, with a 5.5 kW rating at 220/230 V AC. The 25 A Ith rating and associated 25 A aM fuse (10 x 38 mm) define the upstream protection window — the starter itself handles the motor load, while the separately ordered thermal overload relay and contactor complete the protection chain.
Sourcing reality — obsolete, sourced to order
The LE4D25FE7 is obsolete per the manufacturer's lifecycle status.
The enclosed DOL starter ships as a single assembly: the polycarbonate enclosure with integrated push-button controls (green I start, red O stop/reset), pre-wired for the 115 V AC coil, with cable entry knockouts for ISO20 through ISO40 on both top and bottom faces. The thermal overload relay and contactor are ordered separately — the enclosure is designed to accept them, but they are not in the box. For a kitting lead, that means the kit is not complete without those two additional line items.
Fit and deployment context
At 330 mm high, 186 mm wide, and 175.5 mm deep, the enclosure footprint is sized for wall or machine mounting — not DIN-rail. The IP65 and IK07 ratings mean it withstands hose-down cleaning and mechanical impact, making it suitable for standalone mounting on a conveyor line or pump skid where a separate panel would be overkill.
