Identifying contactor spec

[wade88]

Hi guys,

I need to replace a contactor but i always have trouble deciphering exactly what spec it is and which one to buy to replace it that is exactly the same. Sounds a little dim i know but i dont have too much to do with such things and always get thrown when trying to work out what i need to buy.

So all i have managed to take away from this particular model, which annoying i believe is no obsolete and not even manufactured anymore which is making it even harder to pin down as i usually just type in the serial number and hey presto....however, not this time.

So its a telemecanique LC1D093 A65 Ith 25 A Ui 660 V. So with that inforamtion i made the pressumption that im looking for a 660V 25 amp three phase contactor. But having no luck at all with the usual suspects such as farnell or RS online.

Anyone know a good retailer nationally based or can help me find this model?

Thanks chaps

Just pulled these out of three of the fuses carriers....heavily corroded, clearly not proper 10x38 500v fuses, an attempt at just bridging the circuit?

That would suggest that the existing spec isn't up to the job in that case, what's it controlling?

These guys will have your Contactor, give them a bell and tell them what rated coil you need

Was wondering why someone had resorted to bypassing the fuses

What the hell are you working that needs a 690V coil?
I thought I was the only daft bugger on here that’s worked on 660V control!

The Op seems sorted now, but the way I read the 25A 690V is the thermal rating of the contacts, as I see it it is around a 9A 110V coil 3 pole contactor with a single NO aux.
I have a local wholesaler that keeps such beasts on the shelf, in fact I normally have a suitable unit on the van!

Bugger I thought someone else was daft enough to work on 660V

Who ever made these little bullets has done an incredible job tho, they are almost the exact same dims as a 10x38 fuse. Someone went to great lengths to make these little bad boys. They are going in my "naughty box" of collectibles.
