LC1D65 (TeSys D, 65 A)

Schneider / Telemecanique · D-line D40–D65 frame

65 A AC-3 / 30 kW @ 400 V. The workhorse for 40–50 HP @ 460 V compressors. Larger frame than the D09–D38 group — aux blocks still interchange.

Coil data
Available coil voltages
B7/G7/P7/U7/V7 suffix system
Inrush VA
≈ 140–160 VA
Sealed (holding) VA
≈ 13–18 VA
Pickup voltage
85–110% of rated
Dropout voltage
20–75% of rated
Typical measured coil resistance (±15%, ballpark)
120 VAC (G7)≈ 70–120 Ω
230 VAC (P7)≈ 260–450 Ω

OL = open coil · near zero = shorted turns · coil-to-frame must read >1 MΩ.

Coil resistance checker

Pick the coil voltage, enter your meter reading across A1–A2 (coil disconnected), and compare it to the expected ballpark.

Readings 2× high usually mean heat damage and a coil near end of life. Ballpark only (±15%+); electronic wide-range coils (e.g. ABB AF) read misleading values — test those at rated voltage instead. Always measure coil-to-frame too: must be >1 MΩ.

Terminals & accessories
Power/coil terminals: 1/3/5 in, 2/4/6 out; lugs to 4 AWG; torque per label
Auxiliary contacts: 1 NO + 1 NC built in on many SKUs; LADN front blocks
Companion overload: LRD340 (30–40 A) / LRD365 (48–65 A) or separate-mount LR9D electronic

Field notes
  • Coil inrush nearly doubles vs. the small frame — a weak control transformer that ran a D18 will chatter on a D65.
  • Retorque power lugs after the first heat cycle; loose 60 A connections cook quietly for months.
