The Schneider Electric TeSys LG1K065N702 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter that integrates a contactor, switch disconnector, and circuit-breaker in a single IP55 polycarbonate enclosure. It is rated for AC-3 motor switching duty and provides thermal protection adjustable from 0.16 to 0.25 A, making it suitable for small fractional-horsepower motors — the 0.06 kW rating at 400/415 V AC 50/60 Hz confirms it is sized for a very small load, typically a fan, pump, or conveyor drive under 0.1 hp. The 400/415 V AC control coil matches the line voltage in many European and Asian industrial networks, so no separate control transformer is needed when the supply is 400 V three-phase. The push-button start (white I), stop (black O), and rotary emergency stop (red) are integrated into the enclosure lid, giving the operator local control and a lockable E-stop without additional panel wiring.
The IP55 enclosure with IK07 impact resistance is rated for washdown environments and dusty industrial floors — think packaging lines, food processing areas, or light assembly stations where a panel-mounted starter would be overkill or impractical. Cable entries are provided top and bottom (2 x Pg 13 + 2 x Pg 16 each), so the installer can run motor and control cables without drilling the enclosure. The polycarbonate body is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, suited for washdown areas where a metal enclosure would rust.
Standards and safety context
The device application is marked as Safety, meaning the integrated E-stop and the disconnector function are intended for use in a safety circuit that isolates motor power during an emergency. The AC-3 utilisation category confirms it is rated for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors — the most common motor type in industrial automation.
