TeSys D Contactor, 4P(2 NO + 2 NC), AC-1, <= 440V, 80A, 240VAC, 50/60 Hz Coil

Issue:
Identifying power terminal lug data for the D2 style contactors

Product Line:
IEC Contactors and Starters

Environment:
Tesys D line contactors

Cause:
Power terminal lug data required

Resolution:
For contactors with screw clamp terminals:
stranded cable w/o cable end : One #10-3 AWG or Two #10-4 AWG per terminal.
stranded cable w/cable end: One #10-4 AWG or Two #12-2 AWG per terminal.
solid cable: One #10-3 AWG or Two #10-6 AWG per terminal.

Issue:
Identifying maximum voltage of an LC1D contactor

Product Line:
TeSys D Contactors

Environment:
IEC contactors and starters used in North America

Cause:
n/a

Resolution:
IThe maximum voltage per UL and CSA is 600VAC. 
 

Issue: 
Can the TeSys D line be used to control DC loads? 

Product Line:
Tesys D contactors

Environment:
Products sold and used in the United States
 
Cause:
 DC power circuit
 
Resolution:
 
Yes, 75 VDC (125 VDC for D115 & D150) per pole which means that through a four pole device breaking 300 VDC is possible by wiring all four power poles in series. However, be aware that the device current ratings will differ according to the number of poles in series and the type of application.

Devices are suitable but not UL Listed for DC applications.

More information on their DC ratings can be found in the current TeSys Motor Control and Protection Compentns catalog: https://www.schneider-electric.us/en/download/document/MKTED210011EN/


 

Issue:
