The Telemecanique LG1D122V716 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter from the TeSys LG range — a self-contained unit combining a contactor, a circuit-breaker, and a switch disconnector in a single IP55 polycarbonate enclosure. It is designed for safety applications, switching three-phase motors in AC-3 duty at up to 5.5 kW on a 400/415 V AC supply, with a thermal overload adjustment range of 9 to 14 A.
The 9...14 A thermal protection range sets the motor full-load current window this starter can protect — pair it with a motor drawing between those FLC values for correct overload curve. Rated 5.5 kW at 400/415 V AC in AC-3 duty means it handles the starting current of a standard 5.5 kW squirrel-cage induction motor on a 400 V three-phase supply — the most common industrial motor size in European plants. IP55 and IK07 mean the enclosure is dust-protected, splash-proof, and resists 2 J impact — suitable for floor-mounted or wall-mounted installation in dry factory environments, but not for washdown zones or outdoor exposure. Compliant with IEC 60204-1 (safety of machinery) and IEC 60947-4-1 (contactors and motor-starters), so it fits into a CE-marked control panel without additional coordination work.
Deployment context
This is a self-contained enclosed starter — no separate panel wiring for the contactor, overload, and isolator. Cable entries are 4 knockouts: 2 x Pg 13 and 2 x Pg 16 at both top and bottom, sized for standard motor and control cables. Mounts directly to a wall or machine frame via the polycarbonate enclosure; the front-panel controls (start, stop, emergency stop) make it suitable for local operator stations on conveyors, pumps, or small compressors where a separate control station would add cost.
