The LX1FG2206 is a TeSys F contactor coil from Schneider Electric, designed as a replacement or spare coil for TeSys F contactors. It operates on a 265-277 V AC 60 Hz control circuit, drawing 805 VA inrush power and 55 VA hold-in power at 50 Hz. The coil has an average resistance of 370 Ohm at 68 °F (20 °C) and dissipates 18-24 W of heat at 50 Hz. It has a mechanical durability of 10 million cycles and a maximum operating rate of 2400 cycles per hour at 131 °F (55 °C).
The control circuit voltage is 265-277 V AC 60 Hz. Dropout voltage is 0.35-0.55 Uc and operational range is 0.85-1.1 Uc at 50/60 Hz and 131 °F (55 °C). The 805 VA inrush power is the peak draw when the coil first energizes — this determines the sizing of the control transformer or power supply feeding it. The 55 VA hold-in power is the steady-state draw once the contactor is sealed, which governs continuous heat dissipation in the panel. Operating time is 20-35 ms closing and 7-15 ms opening. This is typical for a contactor coil of this size and matters for coordination in fast-switching applications like motor reversing or inching circuits.
This coil is a direct replacement for TeSys F contactors that use the LX1FG coil platform. It mounts onto the contactor's magnet assembly and is wired to the control circuit. The coil has no built-in suppressor module, so an external RC snubber or varistor must be added if the control circuit requires surge suppression — common practice in PLC-driven panels where the coil is switched by a solid-state output. In a panel with multiple contactors running near the 55 °C limit, the 18-24 W heat dissipation per coil adds up — factor this into the panel's thermal budget.
