The Schneider Electric TeSys LG1K065M705 is an enclosed direct-on-line starter that combines a contactor, a circuit-breaker, and a switch disconnector in one IP55 polycarbonate enclosure — a right-sized spec for a single motor branch that needs local isolation and overload protection without a separate panel build. Rated for AC-3 utilisation category, it is built for starting squirrel-cage motors and switching them off only after they are up to speed — the duty that governs real motor starts, not resistive loads. The thermal protection adjustment range of 0.63...1 A sets the overload relay trip window; for a 0.12 kW motor at 230 V or a 0.25 kW motor at 400/415 V, this is the range that keeps the winding protected without nuisance tripping. Verify your control transformer taps before wiring.
Deployment context
Cable entries are pre-punched: four knockouts on top and four on bottom, each accepting Pg 13 or Pg 16 glands, so you can land motor and supply cables without drilling the enclosure. The front panel carries a white start pushbutton, a black stop pushbutton, and a red rotary emergency-stop handle — the operator interface is built in, so no separate control station is needed for local start/stop and emergency isolation.
It is a standard catalogue item in the TeSys LG family, so the BOM line is stable for new designs and spares inventory alike.
