  • Three-pole configuration handles three-phase loads in one unit
  • Screw-clamp terminals provide secure wiring without special tools

IEC 3-pole motor starter

The Schneider Electric LC2D12G7V is a TeSys Deca magnetic contactor rated for 12 A inductive and 25 A resistive loads at 120 V AC. It provides three power poles and a built-in 1NO/1NC auxiliary contact block for control-circuit feedback. The unit mounts on a standard DIN rail or a flat plate using screw-clamp terminals for secure wiring.

Sustained-load behaviour

With a 12 A inductive rating the contactor handles continuous motor starting and stopping without derating, while the 25 A resistive capacity supports heating or lighting circuits under steady-state conditions. The reversing capability allows forward/reverse motor control when paired with a second contactor and mechanical interlock. Silver-alloy contacts resist welding during frequent inrush currents.

Thermal and power profile

The 120 V AC coil draws modest hold-in power, keeping enclosure temperature rise low during extended duty cycles. No integral fan means silent operation, and the open-frame design relies on natural convection around the 3.03 in high by 3.54 in wide body. Screw-clamp terminals minimise voltage drop, reducing wasted energy in the control panel.

Questions about this item

Does the 120 V AC coil produce noticeable hum or heat when energised continuously?

The coil is rated for 120 V AC operation and the contactor carries up to 12 A inductive or 25 A resistive load; normal magnetic hum is present and the unit is designed for continuous duty without overheating.

What mounting hardware and control wiring are needed to install this contactor?

It mounts on a standard DIN rail or flat plate using screw-clamp terminals for both power and auxiliary circuits; you supply the rail or plate, wire, and a 120 V AC control source.

Will the 3-pole, 12 A inductive rating work with an older motor starter that uses a similar IEC frame?

The TeSys Deca frame measures 3.03 in high by 3.54 in wide with 3 power poles and 1NO/1NC auxiliaries, so it fits existing DIN-rail layouts and matches legacy IEC wiring patterns.
