Ls Electric 1317000800 Magnetic Contactor 3P 12A 240VAC

Product Description

The LS ELECTRIC 1317000800 is a 3-pole magnetic contactor from the Metasol Series, rated for 12 amps and designed to switch motor and resistive loads in light industrial and commercial electrical systems. It operates on a 240 VAC coil with a 70 VA inrush and 9 VA holding power rating, keeping control-circuit draw low during sustained operation. The contactor carries a 690-volt load-side rating and delivers 7.5 kW of motor switching capacity at 50/60 Hz. A 1NO auxiliary contact is included for status signaling or interlocking. Licensed electricians typically handle installation in panel boards, motor control centers, and equipment enclosures.

The 1317000800 is suited for residential and light commercial motor control applications, including HVAC equipment, pump panels, and general-purpose machine control circuits. The 18AF frame size fits compact enclosures and panel layouts where space is limited. DIN rail and screw mounting options give installers flexibility in how the contactor is positioned within the enclosure. Screw terminals accept wire from 16 to 8 AWG, covering a range of branch-circuit conductor sizes typical in small motor applications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation contactor for motor control and switching applications requiring a 3-pole, 12A device with a 240 VAC coil in the Metasol Series 18AF frame size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before handling or wiring the contactor. Confirm coil voltage at the control circuit matches the 240 VAC rating before energizing. Verify wire terminations are secure at screw terminals and that conductor sizing complies with the branch-circuit ampacity requirements for the connected load.
