Schneider LC2D18P7 Reversing Contactor, TeSys Deca, 3P (3NO) 18A 7.5 kW 230VAC

The Schneider Electric LC2D18P7 is a TeSys D reversing contactor pre-assembled with phase-reversal interlock for bidirectional AC motor control. Rated at 18A in AC-3 duty at up to 440V AC, it handles motors up to 7.5 kW at 380-400V and operates on a 230V AC coil. The mechanically interlocked design prevents simultaneous forward and reverse closure in a single ready-to-install unit.
