Schneider Electric (Square D) LC1D50AM7 3-Pole Contactor 50A 208-230/460V
The Schneider Electric Square D LC1D50AM7 is a 50 Amp 3-pole contactor used to switch electrical loads in a variety of applications, including HVAC equipment. It uses an electromagnet to regulate the high current flow, much like a heavy-duty relay. The contactor's coil attracts a metal armature when it is electrified, completing the circuit by physically joining the internal contacts. On the other hand, when the coil is de-energized, the armature is released, cutting the connection and stopping the current flow. The LC1D50AM7's adaptability makes it suitable for use in motor control, lighting systems, and other applications requiring safe and dependable switching of moderate to large electrical loads, even though it is directly compatible with a variety of HVAC equipment.
