Schneider Electric (Square D) LC1D18BD Contactor
The Schneider Electric (Square D) LC1D18BD Contactor is a high-performance TeSys Deca 3-pole component engineered for reliable motor control and resistive load management. Operating with a 24Vdc coil, this non-reversing contactor is optimized for seamless integration with PLCs and industrial controllers, featuring a low-consumption DC circuit with a built-in transient suppressor module to eliminate the need for interposing relays. Rated for 18 Amps (AC-3) and up to 32 Amps (AC-1), it supports 3-phase motor loads up to 10 HP at 480 VAC, ensuring robust power handling for demanding HVACR and automation environments.
Designed for professional-grade reliability, this 18A 3-pole contactor features durable screw clamp terminals that maintain high-torque connections under 3600 cycles/hour. The unit comes standard with integrated 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary contacts (mirror certified), providing versatile feedback loops for field wiring. Its compact 45mm width allows for high-density DIN rail mounting or direct panel screw-fixing, making it a versatile drop-in solution for industrial starter assemblies.
Key Benefits for Technicians:
- Enhanced Compatibility: Features multi-standard screws for easier installation across local and international hardware standards.
- Built-in Surge Suppression: Bidirectional peak limiting diode protecting your DC control signals from inductive back-EMF.
- Space-Efficient Design: The compact footprint facilitates better airflow and organization within industrial enclosures.
- High SCCR Performance: Rated for up to 100kA short-circuit current when coordinated with appropriate fuses or circuit breakers.
Common Questions:
Can the LC1D18BD be used with a 24Vac control circuit?
No, this specific model requires a 24Vdc supply. Using an AC source will result in coil chatter or failure; ensure your power supply matches the DC specification before energizing.
What is the maximum wire gauge for the screw terminals?
The power circuit terminals are designed to accept up to 6 AWG stranded copper wire, though always refer to specific torque settings on the side of the unit to ensure a secure, low-resistance connection.
Does this contactor support 3-phase reversing applications?
Standalone, the LC1D18BD is a non-reversing contactor. Reversing configurations require a second contactor and a dedicated mechanical/electrical interlock kit.
