Schneider Electric LP2K Series Reversing Contactor, 24 V dc Coil, 3-Pole, 9 A, 4 kW, 3NO, 690 V ac

A reversing contactor joins two contactors together mechanically and electrically, enabling it to change a current's polarity and direction. This 3-pole reversing contactor is part of Schneider Electric's TeSys K range and is an ideal choice for motors that need forward/reverse and left/right commands. It's been rated for utilisation categories AC-1, AC-3 and AC-4, so you can use it for both non-inductive and slightly inductive loads such as those found in resistive furnaces and heaters. It can also be used with all types of self-starting squirrel-cage induction motors.

• Minimum operating temperature of -25°C and maximum of +50°C for use in a range of challenging industrial environments
• 24V DC coil voltage for ample capacity
• Auxiliary contact provides additional capacity
• IP20 (ingress protection) rating indicates the unit is touch-proof

• HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) systems
• Squirrel cage motors
• Conveyor systems and elevator operations

To mount this reverse contactor, simply fix it securely onto any plate or flat surface using the screws supplied. For high-volume systems, it's also possible to rail mount it using the same equipment. Its miniature size means it fits into tight spaces.
