Schneider Electric LC2D Series Contactor, 24 V ac Coil, 3-Pole, 18 A, 7.5 kW, 3NO, 690 V ac

TeSys D reversing Contactors from Schneider Electric combine long mechanical and electrical life to offer a high reliable contactor. The LC2D series is preassembled with reversing power busbar and has been designed for motor control or resistive load applications. The TeSys D contactors offer quick simple setup while maintaining compliance with international standards.

• Built-in auxiliary contacts for added switching capability
• Pre-installed interlock
• Screw connections: IP20 finger-safe terminals with both North American and International terminal markings
• Can be panel mounted with screws or DIN Rail mounted
• Easily installed accessories
• Flexible control circuit to suit a wide range of applications

Contactor utilisation categories define the current making and breaking values, based on the type of load to be controlled and the operating cycle conditions.
AC-1: This applies to all AC devices with a power factor of at least 0.95. Example of use: resistive load, heating, distribution.
AC-3: This applies to squirrel cage motors where breaking occurs while the motor is running.
Example of use: all squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units.

A reversing contactor is an assembly of two of standard contactors, with a mechanical and electrical interlock connecting them. The interlocks allow only one contactor to be closed (giving power supply to the motor) at any time.

Yes the Tesys D range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.
