The Schneider Electric TeSys LG7K06Q710A59 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter that combines a contactor, circuit-breaker, and neutral terminal in a single IP55 polycarbonate enclosure. It's designed for safety applications per IEC 60204-1 and IEC 60947-4-1, meaning it meets the machine-safety standard for control circuits and the motor-starter standard for switching and protection. The thermal protection adjustment range of 4...6.3 A sets the overload trip point for the motor it guards. For a 3 kW motor at 440 V AC (AC-3 duty), that's the right window; at 400/415 V the same unit handles 2.2 kW, and at 220/230 V it drops to 1.1 kW.
Enclosure and mounting — what the IP55 and polycarbonate mean for the line
IP55 means the enclosure is dust-protected and can take low-pressure water jets from any direction — suitable for washdown areas, outdoor installations under eaves, or food-processing zones where hosing down the panel face is routine. The polycarbonate material resists corrosion and impact to IK07, so it handles occasional knocks from tools or equipment without cracking. Dimensions are 165 mm high, 175 mm wide, and 177 mm deep. Cable entries are pre-punched: four Pg 13 and two Pg 16 glands on both top and bottom faces, giving flexibility for routing motor and control cables without drilling the enclosure.
