The LX9FG080 is a specific contactor coil from the Schneider TeSys F range, designed as a replacement or spare coil for TeSys F contactors. It operates on an 80 V AC control circuit at 40 to 400 Hz and is classed as a low-consumption variant. The coil draws 950 to 1180 VA inrush at 68 °F (20 °C) and settles to 8.9 to 10.9 VA holding power at the same temperature. Its average resistance measures 5.52 Ω inrush and 175.5 Ω holding at 68 °F (20 °C). Opening time is 130 ms; closing time is 35 ms. Heat dissipation runs 8 to 9.8 W during operation. The coil has no built-in suppressor module, so external suppression (RC snubber or varistor) must be added across the coil terminals if the control circuit requires it.
Control voltage and operating limits
The control circuit voltage limits are specified at 131 °F (55 °C): operational range is 0.85 to 1.1 times Uc (68 to 88 V AC), and drop-out occurs between 0.35 and 0.55 times Uc (28 to 44 V AC). Ambient air temperature for operation is 23 to 131 °F (-5 to 55 °C).
