DC coil version requires polarity: A1 = positive, A2 = negative

Matched thermal relay for LC1D40 (18.5kW @ 380V): LRD3353C, setting range 23～32 A, Clasa 10A

1. LRD3353C Overload Current Setting Table

1) Setting Rule (Obligatoriu)

Set the thermal relay knob to motor nameplate full-load current (FLA), NOT the 40A contactor rating.

380V 18.5kW 3-phase motor: curent nominal ≈ 32 A → set knob directly to 32 O (full scale).

For fan-type motors, heavy starting & frequent jogging: set to 100%～105% of FLA; never exceed 115%.

Temperatura mediului ambiant >40°C or enclosed cabinet: reduce setting by 5%～10%.

2) LC1D Series Contactor + LRD Thermal Relay Matching List

High-current older models (being upgraded to AKUE wide-voltage coil)
