Schneider Electric TeSys F LC1F330P7 Contactor, 3P (3 NO), AC‑3 330A ≤440V — 230V AC Coil

Manufacturer: Schneider Electric

Product Overview: The TeSys F LC1F330P7 is a heavy‑duty 3‑pole (3 normally open) contactor designed for direct‑on‑line motor starting and resistive load switching in demanding industrial environments. Conforming to IEC/EN/JIS standards, the LC1F330P7 delivers high breaking capacity, low internal impedance and long mechanical life. This unit features a 230 V AC control coil (40–400 Hz) and is rated AC‑3 at 330 A (≤440 V AC). Discontinued on Dec 30, 2024 — verify availability before ordering.

Applications & Notes:

• Intended for heavy industrial motor control and high‑capacity switching applications where high breaking capacity and low impedance are required. Compatible with TeSys F accessories (auxiliary contacts, mechanical interlocks LA9, mounting kits) for reversing and multi‑contactor assemblies. Observe coil voltage operational limits (0.85…1.1 Uc) and drop‑out range per Schneider Electric instructions. Confirm derating rules and protection coordination (fuse selection) for your installation.

Environmental & Compliance:

• Schneider Electric environmental declarations and Product Environmental Profile available in manufacturer documentation. RoHS compliance applies with noted exemptions. Follow local WEEE disposal rules and applicable safety warnings (e.g., California Prop 65).
