●Schneider Electric LC1K TeSys K Miniature Contactors
●TeSys K Miniature Contactors from Schneider Electric combine long mechanical and electrical life to offer a high reliable contactor. The range has been designed for integration in control systems and for inductive motor applications. The TeSys K contactors offer quick simple setup while maintaining compliance with international standards. A special armature structure design allows all devices in the range, either AC or DC, to have the same physical size and panel footprint for convenience.

●What does the utilisation category AC1 and AC3 mean for the TeSys contactors?
●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.

●Are the TeSys K contactors suitable for applications in AC4 usage?
●The LC1K series is suitable up to a maximum of 440 V ac in category AC4.
●###
●Is the TeSys K range a double break pole type contactor?
●Yes the TeSys K range uses linear translation movement that provides double breaking of the poles.
