Features

• Schneider Electric LC2K TeSys K Miniature Reversible Contactor
• Schneider Electric's TeSys K miniature reversible contactors are reliable contactors with long mechanical and electrical life. This series is designed for control system integration and induction motor applications. TeSys K contactors are quick and easy to set up while maintaining compliance with international standards. Due to the special armature structure design, all devices in the series have the same convenient physical size and panel footprint, whether AC or DC.
• Features and Advantages: Additional switching capability with built-in auxiliary contacts Screw connection: IP20 finger protection terminals compliant with both North American and international terminal markings Screw support for panel or DIN rail mounting Easy-to-install accessory Instant auxiliary contacts Flexible control circuit for a wide range of applications Increased flexibility in component selection Rated high fault short circuit current
• What do the TeSys contactor usage categories AC1 and AC3 mean?
• The contactor usage category defines make/break current values based on the Type of load being controlled and operating cycle conditions.
• AC-1: Applies to all AC equipment with a power factor of 0.95 or greater. Examples of use: resistive loads, heaters, power distribution, etc.
• AC-3: Applicable to three-phase squirrel cage motors where a break occurs during motor operation.
• Examples of use: all three-phase cage motors, elevators, escalators, conveyors, bucket elevators, compressors, pumps, mixers, air conditioning units, etc.
• Are TeSys K contactors suitable for use category AC4?
• Does the LC2K series support the maximum voltage of 440 V ac of category AC 4?
• Is TeSys K series a double break pole Type contactor?
• Yes, the TeSys K series achieves double break of poles by translation.
• What is a Reversible Contactor?
• A reversible contactor is an assembly of two standard contactors connected by mechanical and electrical interlocks. The Interlock allows only one contactor to be closed (supplying power to the motor) at any time.
