The Schneider Electric LC1D40M7C is a three-pole power contactor from the versatile TeSys D (Deca) series. It is engineered for the reliable switching and control of medium-power three-phase AC motors and other industrial loads in various automation and machinery applications.
Parameter Specification Notes / Interpretation
Product Range / Series TeSys Deca (TeSys D) Modern, modular, and robust contactor line.
Type 3-Pole Electromechanical Contactor Standard power switching device.
Rated Operational Current (Ie) 40 A at AC-3, 400V For switching squirrel-cage motors (starting & stopping).
Rated Operational Voltage (Ue) Up to 690V AC, 50/60 Hz Standard for industrial three-phase systems.
Utilization Category AC-3 Primary duty: Squirrel cage motor switching.
Control Coil Voltage Code M7C Crucial: This code defines the coil voltage and must be verified.
In the TeSys D series:
• M7 is a common code that typically corresponds to 230V AC, 50/60 Hz.
• C may indicate a specific coil variant or production detail.
Highly probable match: "M7C" corresponds to 230V AC, 50/60 Hz. Always confirm with official sources before installation.
Poles Configuration 3 Main Poles (Normally Open) Standard for three-phase power.
Terminal Type Screw Clamp Terminals For main power and coil connections.
Mounting Snap-on mounting on 35mm top-hat rail (EN 60715) or screw mounting. Versatile panel mounting.
Accessory Compatibility Fully compatible with TeSys D auxiliary contact blocks (e.g., LAD, LAEN series), mechanical interlocks, and timers. Enables easy system expansion.
Overload Relay Pairing Designed to connect seamlessly with TeSys D LRD / LRE series thermal overload relays. Forms a complete and coordinated motor starter.
