The Schneider Electric LE4K095V7 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter from the TeSys LE range, designed for standard motor-starting applications. It integrates a contactor and a fuse disconnector in a single polycarbonate enclosure rated IP65 and IK09, meaning it withstands washdown and mechanical impact in industrial environments. Motor power capability spans 4 kW at 380/400/415/440 V AC and 2.2 kW at 220/230 V AC, all at 50/60 Hz. The thermal overload relay is ordered separately — this enclosure houses the contactor and fuse disconnector only, with an associated fuse rating of 12 A (10 x 38 mm aM).
The 9 A Ith rating under AC-3 duty means this starter is sized for motor loads up to 4 kW on a 400 V supply — the AC-3 category covers starting and switching off squirrel-cage motors during running, so the contactor is designed for the inrush and breaking duty of inductive motor loads. The IP65 enclosure allows installation in washdown areas or outdoors, but the operating temperature range of -5 to 40 °C limits deployment in unheated enclosures or direct-sun locations. The 400 V AC control coil is line-voltage, not low-voltage — it pulls directly from the motor supply, so no separate control transformer is needed for the coil circuit. The push-button control (green start I, red stop/reset O) is integrated into the enclosure lid.
The enclosure measures 175 mm wide, 165 mm high, and 146 mm deep, with multiple cable entries: four ISO20 knockouts and two Pg 13 + two Pg 16 entries on both top and bottom faces. This gives flexibility for top or bottom cable entry in panel layouts. The polycarbonate material is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, suited for food-and-bev or chemical environments. Compliance is to IEC 60947-4-1, the standard for contactors and motor-starters. No UL, CSA, or other agency marks are listed in the spec record — verify acceptance with local inspection authorities if required.
