Schneider Electric LC2D18M7 Three Phase AC Contactor

The Schneider Electric LC2D18M7 TeSys Deca reversing contactor is a three‑pole (3P) device with three normally open contacts (3 NO) designed to reverse a three‑phase motor by swapping its supply lines. It handles up to 18 A in AC‑3 service and is rated for voltages up to 440 V, with a 220 V AC coil to energize the unit. Wiring uses screw‑clamp terminals for secure field connections, making it straightforward to install in control panels. This reversing contactor is part of Schneider Electric's TeSys Deca family, which provides compact, reliable motor control solutions for bidirectional operation. Typical applications include reversing drive motors in conveyors, pumps, and other three‑phase loads where switching direction is required. The LC2D18M7 is designed for AC‑3 duty, enabling safe starting and stopping of motors under normal operating conditions, with coil activation achieved by applying 220 VAC. As a three‑pole unit with all contacts rated for the same voltage, it simplifies wiring and interconnection in standard motor control circuits.
