Ls Electric 1328000500 Magnetic Contactor 18A 120VAC 3P

Product Description

The LS ELECTRIC 1328000500 is a 3-pole magnetic contactor from the Metasol Series, rated for 18 amps and designed for motor load switching and power control in industrial and commercial electrical systems. It operates on a 120 VAC coil voltage at 50/60 Hz, with an inrush coil power of 70 VA and a holding coil power of 9 VA. The contact configuration is 3NO with one additional 1NO auxiliary contact. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians install this contactor in motor starter assemblies, panel boards, and control circuits where reliable switching and compact DIN rail or screw mounting are required.

The 1328000500 is suited for use in motor control centers, pump panels, HVAC equipment control circuits, and industrial automation panels. Its 18AF frame size fits standard DIN rail enclosures and control panel builds. The contactor handles loads up to 7.5 kW at 690 volts, making it appropriate for three-phase motor applications across light industrial and commercial installations. It accepts wire sizes from 14 to 8 AWG at screw terminals, accommodating a range of circuit conductor sizes commonly found in this load class.
