The Schneider Electric LP2K1201KD3 is a TeSys K reversing contactor — three-pole, rated for AC-3 motor duty up to 12 A at ≤440 V, with a 100 V DC coil and one NC auxiliary contact. It arrives preassembled with the reversing power busbar, so it bolts straight into a reversing starter cabinet without extra wiring between the two contactors. Rated operational voltage for the power circuit is 690 V AC 50/60 Hz, and the utilisation categories cover AC-1 (resistive), AC-3 (motor start/run), and AC-4 (plugging/inching). That means it handles both steady resistive loads and the inrush of squirrel-cage motors, including the severe switching of reversing duty. IP20 finger-safe protection (per VDE 0106) suits it for enclosed panel mounting — no exposed live parts on the front face once installed.
