Schneider Electric LC1D18B7 Magnetic Motor Starter

Schneider Electric LC1D18B7 TeSys Deca magnetic contactor is a 3-pole, nonreversing device designed to start and stop a three‑phase motor in AC‑3 duty. It provides three normally open contacts (3 NO) and a 24 V AC coil (50/60 Hz), with screw‑clamp terminals for secure wiring. Rated up to 440 V AC across the contacts and 18 A load current, it can drive motors up to about 10 HP at 480 VAC. As part of the TeSys Deca family, this LC1D18B7 offers a compact form factor and robust switching performance; for a complete motor starter, pair it with an overload relay. Applications include conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools where reliable control of a 3‑phase motor is required. Coil voltage is 24 VAC, and the contacts are rated for AC‑3/3e duty, making it suitable for typical industrial control panels and control circuits in which a 24 V control signal is used to operate an 18 A, up to 440 V AC motor load.
