Schneider Electric TeSys K LC1K Contactor, 230 V ac Coil, 3-Pole, 12 A, 5.5 kW, 3NO, 690 V ac

This 3-pole contactor from Schneider Electric is an effective solution for switching circuits in resistive loads and motor controls. It's compact – so you can install it in tight spaces – and also offers plenty of capacity. It has a contact rating of 690 volts of alternating current and a coil that accommodates 230V AC. The built-in auxiliary contacts provide even greater switching capacity. This contactor can be plate-mounted onto any flat surface with the screws that come included. Alternatively, you can rail-mount it to keep high-volume systems organised.

• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +50°C for versatile use in industrial environments
• Normally open (NO) contacts close on activation and return to open position when the coil is disengaged
• Compact dimensions of 58mm length and 57mm depth

• Pump operations
• Conveyor systems and bucket elevators
• Air-conditioning units

The utilisation categories define the making and breaking values of contactors. They're based on the type of load and the operating cycle conditions. This contactor has been categorised for AC-1 (including resistive loads, heating and distribution) and AC-3 (including squirrel cage motors, lifts, escalators, conveyors and bucket elevators).
