The LP1K12013ED is a 3-pole contactor from the TeSys K compact series, rated for AC-3 duty at 12 A up to 440 V — that's the motor-switching current that governs fit for a 3-phase induction motor of roughly 5.5 kW at 400 V. The 48 V DC coil draws 3 W holding power at 20 °C, so size the control transformer or DC supply for that continuous load plus inrush. Three NO main poles and one NC auxiliary contact are built in; the auxiliary is typically used for a run-status feedback or interlock.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What utilisation categories does this contactor cover?
It is rated for AC-3 (squirrel-cage motor starting), AC-4 (plugging/inching), and AC-1 (resistive) loads. The AC-3 figure of 12 A at ≤440 V is the one that governs motor switching fit.
What are the physical dimensions for panel layout?
Width 45 mm, height 58 mm, depth 57 mm. Standard DIN-rail footprint.
What compliance standards does the flame retardance meet?
V1 per UL 94, plus NF F 16-101 and NF F 16-102 Requirement 2 — the latter two are French railway standards for fire behaviour of materials.
