For high inrush applications, verify Type 2 coordination using 160A gG fuses
FAQ
Q1: What is the rated current of the LC1D95M7C?
A: The rated operational current is 95 A in AC-3 utilization category (motor starting) and 125 A in AC-1 category (resistive loads) at ≤440V and <60°C .
Q2: What is the maximum motor power the LC1D95M7C can control?
A: At 380-440V AC in AC-3 category, it can control motors up to 45 kW. At 500V AC, it can control up to 55 kW. In HP ratings, it handles up to 60 hp at 460/480V .
Q3: What coil voltage does the LC1D95M7C require?
A: The contactor operates on a 220 V AC 50/60 Hz control circuit. The "M7" in the part number indicates this coil voltage .
Q4: Does the LC1D95M7C have built-in auxiliary contacts?
A: Yes, it comes with 1 NO + 1 NC built-in auxiliary contacts. The NC contact is a mirror contact certified for safety feedback applications (per IEC 60947-4-1) .
Q5: What is the electrical endurance of this contactor?
A: The electrical durability is 1.2 million cycles at 95A AC-3 operation and 1.3 million cycles at 125A AC-1 operation .
Q6: Does the contactor have a built-in surge suppressor?
A: No, this model comes without a built-in surge suppressor module. External surge suppression may be required depending on your application .
Q7: What certifications does this product hold?
A: It holds CCC, CE, UKCA, CSA, and UL certifications, ensuring compliance with international standards .
Q8: What are the physical dimensions of the LC1D95M7C?
A: Approximate dimensions: 127 mm height × 85 mm width × 130 mm depth. It weighs approximately 1.588 kg .
Q9: What is the difference between utilization categories AC-3 and AC-1?
A: AC-1 is for resistive loads (e.g., heating) with a rated current of 125A. AC-3 is for motor starting and switching (squirrel cage motors) with a rated current of 95A. AC-3 involves higher inrush currents during starting, hence the lower continuous current rating .
Q10: What is the maximum operating frequency?
A: The maximum operating rate is 3600 cycles per hour at ambient temperatures below 60°C .
