The Schneider Electric TeSys LG1K065Q704 is an enclosed DOL (direct-on-line) starter combining a contactor, switch-disconnector, and circuit-breaker in one IP55 polycarbonate enclosure. It is rated for AC-3 motor duty at 0.18 kW on 400/415 V AC supplies, with a thermal protection adjustment range of 0.4 to 0.63 A and a 380/400 V AC control coil. The IP55 rating means the enclosure is dust-protected and withstands water jets from any direction — suitable for washdown areas in food processing or light industrial environments where hose-down cleaning is routine. The IK07 impact rating confirms it resists 2 J impacts, enough for accidental tool drops in a panel bay.
Integration notes for panel builders
Cable entries include four Pg 13 and two Pg 16 knockouts on both top and bottom faces, giving flexibility for top-entry or bottom-entry wiring in a panel gland plate. The polycarbonate enclosure is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, but the IP55 seal means gland nuts must be properly torqued to maintain the rating. The front panel carries a white push-button start, black push-button stop, and a red rotary emergency stop handle — all pre-wired to the internal contactor and disconnect. The thermal overload adjustment range of 0.4 to 0.63 A is set via a dial inside the enclosure. For a 0.18 kW motor at 400 V (full-load current typically around 0.5 A), set the dial to the motor nameplate FLA. The unit complies with IEC 60204-1 for electrical equipment of machines, so it meets the safety standard for machine control panels.
