The TeSys LG7K06N708 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter from the TeSys LG range, combining a contactor and circuit-breaker in a single polycarbonate enclosure rated IP55 and IK07. It's built for standard-environment motor starting and safety applications, with push-button controls — white start, black stop, and a red mushroom-head emergency stop — integrated into the cover. The unit is designed for a 400/415 V AC control circuit and carries AC-3 utilisation category for motor switching. Rated motor power is 0.75 kW at 220/230 V AC and 1.5 kW at 400/415 V AC, both 50/60 Hz. The thermal protection adjustment range is 2.5 to 4 A, so it's sized for small three-phase motors — think pumps, fans, or small conveyors in a panel that needs a self-contained start/stop station with overload and short-circuit protection built in.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality — obsolete, sourced to order
If you're holding a design that uses this starter, the closest functional match within the TeSys LG family would be a current-production enclosed DOL starter with the same 2.5-4 A thermal range and 400/415 V coil — but the enclosure layout, cable entries, and control station arrangement may differ. Verify the replacement's dimensions (177 mm deep, 175 mm wide, 165 mm high) and cable entry pattern (4 entries: 2 Pg 13 + 2 Pg 16 top and bottom) against your panel cutout and gland plate before committing.
The AC-3 rating (2.5-4 A) governs motor starting — it's the duty that matters for inrush during start-up, not the resistive AC-1 figure. The IP55 enclosure means it's dust-protected and can handle water jets from any direction, so it's suitable for washdown areas or outdoor installation under a cover. IK07 impact resistance means it survives a 2 J blow — enough for accidental tool drops but not heavy industrial impacts. Standards compliance with IEC 60947-4-1 (low-voltage switchgear for motor starters) and IEC 60204-1 (safety of machinery — electrical equipment) means it meets the core machinery directive requirements for a motor starter in Europe. The cable entry count — 4 entries, each side offering 2 Pg 13 and 2 Pg 16 knockouts — gives flexibility for incoming supply and motor cable routing without an extra junction box.
