The Schneider Electric TeSys LG7K06U708 is an enclosed direct-on-line (DOL) starter combining a contactor and circuit-breaker in a single polycarbonate enclosure, ready for wall-mount or panel integration without additional wiring of separate components. Rated for AC-3 duty (IEC 60947-4-1), it switches 0.75 kW at 220/230 V AC and 1.5 kW at 400/415 V AC or 440 V AC, all at 50/60 Hz — suitable for standard three-phase squirrel-cage motors in pump, fan, and conveyor applications. The thermal overload relay adjusts from 2.5 to 4 A, covering the motor full-load current range for the power ratings listed; the 230/240 V AC coil matches common control-voltage taps in industrial panels.
IP55 and IK07 — deployment context
IP55 per IEC 60529 means the enclosure is dust-protected and resists water jets from any direction — suited for washdown areas, outdoor shelters, or floor-level mounting near process equipment. Cable entries: four knockouts accept Pg 13 or Pg 16 glands on both top and bottom faces, giving flexibility for top-entry mains and bottom-entry motor leads without drilling.
Lifecycle status — obsolete, sourced to order
The LG7K06U708 is classified as obsolete by Schneider Electric (product status: Obsolete). No direct successor order code is published in the available records. If a form-fit-function replacement is needed, a cross-reference search against the TeSys range's current enclosed starter family is the next step; the obsolete status means no factory last-time-buy window remains open.
The starter is certified to IEC 60947-4-1 (low-voltage switchgear and controlgear for motor starting) and IEC 60204-1 (safety of machinery — electrical equipment), the two standards that govern motor-starter selection in European and many export machine builds. The enclosure material is polycarbonate — no RoHS/REACH conflict for standard industrial use.
