TeSys Deca 3P contactor, 32A AC-3, 15kW at 400V, 24 V DC coil.
The Schneider Electric LC1D32ABD is a TeSys Deca 3-pole (3NO) contactor rated 32 A AC-3 at up to 440 V, switching 15 kW motors at 400 V with a 24 V DC coil. Built-in 1NO+1NC mirror-certified auxiliary contacts and snap-in power and control terminals cut panel wiring time. It switches up to 3600 operations per hour and is rated for ambient temperatures to 60 degrees Celsius.
Size the LC1D32ABD to motors up to 15 kW at 400 V where the full 32 A AC-3 rating applies continuously; the 40 A AC-1 figure only covers resistive loads, not motor starting current, so do not use it to size a motor branch. The 24 V DC coil draws a steady 5.4 W holding power and wires directly to PLC outputs or a DC control rail without an interposing relay; for motors above 15 kW at 400 V, the next current rating in the same TeSys Deca family keeps the identical 45 mm frame width and mounting pattern.
