The Schneider LG7K06Q706A29 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter from the TeSys LG range, combining a contactor, circuit-breaker, and padlocking device in a single IP55 polycarbonate enclosure. Rated for AC-3 utilisation category, it switches motor loads up to 0.55 kW at 400/415 V AC and 0.25 kW at 220/230 V AC, with a thermal protection adjustment range of 1 to 1.6 A. The control circuit runs on 380/400 V AC 50/60 Hz, and the unit carries IEC 60204-1 and IEC 60947-4-1 compliance for machinery safety and motor-starter coordination.
This part is obsolete per the manufacturer's lifecycle record.
The 1 to 1.6 A thermal protection range sets the motor full-load current window — a 1.6 A setting protects a motor drawing up to that current, and the adjustment lets you fine-tune for the actual nameplate FLA. IP55 means the enclosure is dust-protected and hose-down resistant, suitable for washdown areas or outdoor installation under a canopy, but not for submersion or high-pressure jets. AC-3 duty handles starting currents and breaking the motor at standstill, the standard for squirrel-cage induction motors. Dimensions of 177 mm deep, 175 mm wide, and 165 mm high; the four cable entries (2 Pg 13 + 2 Pg 16 top and bottom) accept common metric gland sizes.
Safety application and controls
Marked for safety application, the unit includes a mushroom-head red emergency-stop pushbutton alongside the white start and black stop pushbuttons — meeting the emergency-stop requirements of IEC 60204-1 for machinery. The padlocking device on the circuit-breaker allows lockout/tagout (LOTO) isolation at the starter, which is a practical requirement for maintenance access on conveyor, pump, and fan drives.
