Schneider Electric LC1D18M Magnetic Contactor

Schneider Electric’s LC1D18M magnetic contactor is a TeSys D three-pole switch rated for 18 A in AC-3 service, driven by a 220 V AC coil (50/60 Hz) to reliably start and stop three-phase motors and other inductive loads. It provides three normally open contacts and supports line voltages up to 440 V AC in AC-3 duty, making it a compact, dependable choice for motor control in conveyors, pumps, fans, and similar applications. The unit is designed for panel mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail and typically wired with robust screw-clamp terminations for power and control circuits, enabling straightforward integration into standard control panels. Coil characteristics for the 220 V AC variant list an inrush consumption of about 70 VA and a holding (continuous) consumption around 7.5 VA, reflecting a balance between quick energization and energy efficiency in continuous operation. As part of the TeSys D family, LC1D18M can be paired with compatible auxiliary contacts to extend control logic and maintain compatibility with Schneider Electric’s broader motor-control ecosystem.
