The Schneider Electric LG7K06B705 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter from the TeSys LG family, combining a contactor and a circuit-breaker in a single IP55 polycarbonate enclosure. It is designed for safety applications and provides motor starting and overload protection in a ready-to-mount package. Rated for AC-3 utilization category, it delivers 0.12 kW at 220/230 V AC, 0.25 kW at 400/415 V AC, and 0.37 kW at 440 V AC — all at 50/60 Hz. The thermal protection adjustment range is 0.63…1 A, and the control circuit runs on 24 V AC 50/60 Hz. The enclosure carries IP55 protection against dust and water jets, plus IK07 impact resistance per IEC 60529. It meets IEC 60204-1 and IEC 60947-4-1 standards. Cable entry options include 4 entries (2 Pg 13 + 2 Pg 16) on both top and bottom faces.
Lifecycle status and sourcing reality
No direct manufacturer replacement order code is listed in the lifecycle record, so a cross-reference to a current equivalent requires a parametric match on the thermal range (0.63…1 A), coil voltage (24 V AC), enclosure rating (IP55), and motor power class.
The 0.63…1 A thermal adjustment range sets the overload protection for the motor full-load current. With AC-3 duty, this starter switches motor loads up to the listed kW ratings — 0.25 kW at 400/415 V is the most common European industrial voltage. The 24 V AC coil is a standard control voltage for safety circuits and PLC-driven contactor banks. IP55 means the enclosure withstands hose-directed water and dust ingress — suitable for washdown areas in food processing or outdoor installations under cover. The polycarbonate housing is corrosion-resistant and lighter than steel, but IK07 impact protection means it should not be mounted where heavy tools or falling objects regularly strike it. The four cable entries (Pg 13 and Pg 16 on both top and bottom) give flexibility for incoming supply and outgoing motor cables without needing an additional junction box.
