The Schneider Electric LP1D800046DW is a TeSys Deca 4-pole contactor with a 96 V DC wide-range control coil, rated for 125 A in AC-1 utilisation category (resistive load). That AC-1 rating means it's built for switching resistive heating elements, lighting banks, or transformer primaries — not motor starts. For motor duty you'd look at the AC-3 rating on a different variant; this one is specced for continuous resistive current. The contactor carries 4 NO power poles and is rated for 1100 A making and breaking capacity at 440 V per IEC 60947. Mechanical durability is 4 million cycles, with electrical durability at 0.8 million cycles at full 125 A AC-1 load up to 440 V. That's a solid 800,000 operations before the main poles need inspection — realistic for a heating element or oven contactor running a few cycles per hour.
Where it fits — panel and compliance
Approved to UL 508, CSA C22.2 No 14, IEC 60947-4-1, and IEC 60947-5-1 — so it passes North American and IEC panel inspections without argument. Flame retardance V1 per UL 94 and 850 °C glow-wire resistance per IEC 60695-2-1 cover the fire safety requirements for most machinery directives.
Coil and control circuit details
The coil is a DC wide-range type at 96 V DC nominal, without a built-in suppressor module. That means you need an external flyback diode or RC snubber across the coil if the PLC output driving it is solid-state. Inrush power is 22 W at 20 °C; holding power is lower but not separately stated. Opening time is 6–20 ms, closing 20–35 ms — fast enough for most sequencing but not for precision synchronisation. Control circuit terminals accept lugs or ring terminals with an 8 mm outer diameter, torqued to 1.2 N·m. Power circuit terminals take lugs up to 17 mm OD or busbars up to 3 × 16 mm², torqued to 12 N·m. The average impedance per pole is 0.8 mΩ at 125 A, 50 Hz — power dissipation runs 12.5 W per pole in AC-1 service, so total heat in the panel is about 50 W at full load.
