The LX1LC0489 is a replacement coil from the TeSys range, designed for LC1 contactors and similar TeSys magnetic starters. It operates on a 48 V AC control circuit at 50/60 Hz, making it a drop-in service part for panels wired to that voltage standard.
Electrical characteristics that matter for fit
The coil draws 12...18 VA sealed at 60 Hz, but the inrush demand hits 170...230 VA at 0.55 power factor. That inrush peak is what the control transformer and upstream fuse must handle — the sealed VA is what the coil dissipates once the contactor is held in. Average DC resistance measures 13.349 Ohm ±10%, and the closed-circuit inductance is 0.107 mH. These values are useful for verifying coil integrity with an ohmmeter during troubleshooting or for sizing snubber networks across the coil terminals.
Lifecycle reality — this part is obsolete
Schneider has marked the LX1LC0489 as obsolete.
