Schneider Electric LC1DFKM7 TeSys D Capacitor Contactor 12.5 kVAR 400V 220V AC Coil | Power Factor Correction

The Schneider Electric LC1DFKM7 is a TeSys D capacitor-duty contactor for switching 12.5 kVAR capacitor steps at 400 V. Its early-make auxiliary contacts with damping resistors limit the high inrush current when capacitors are energised, protecting the contactor and capacitors in automatic power factor correction panels.

Key features

• Pre-charge resistors limit capacitor inrush current
• Matched to standard capacitor step ratings
• 220 V AC coil controlled directly by the power factor regulator
• Extends capacitor and contactor life

Technical specifications

Typical applications

• Automatic power factor correction (APFC) panels
• Factories avoiding utility reactive-power penalties
• Commercial buildings with large motor and HVAC loads

Frequently asked questions

Why use a capacitor contactor instead of a standard contactor?

Capacitors draw a very high inrush current at switch-on; capacitor contactors include damping resistors that limit it, preventing contact welding and capacitor damage.
