Schneider Electric LP2K0601BD 24V DC Reversing Contactor 3P 6A

SKU CH-MGAC-3GX5W

A miniature IEC reversing magnetic contactor rated 6 A inductive and 15 A resistive with a 24 V DC coil for three-phase motor control up to 480 V

  • Type3" Harsh Environment, Hook-and-Loop Closure
  • Reversing contactor handles motor direction changes
  • 24 V DC coil suits low-voltage control circuits
  • 6 A inductive rating drives small motor loads
  • 3-pole design switches three-phase power lines
  • CSA and UL listed for code compliance

Application and Audience

This Schneider Electric LP2K0601BD is a 24V DC reversing contactor rated for 6A inductive and 15A resistive loads. It suits control panels that need forward and reverse motor switching in a compact IEC frame. The unit carries CSA and UL listings for North American installations.

Upgrade Path

It replaces older non-reversing contactors or larger frame starters when a panel requires bidirectional three-phase control without extra wiring. The jump is worth it when an application moves from single-direction to reversing duty and space is limited to the 3.54in by 3.54in footprint.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The coil operates on 24V DC at 50 or 60Hz while the three main poles handle continuous inductive current up to 6A and resistive current up to 15A. Horsepower ratings reach 3hp at 480V and 575V three-phase, with a built-in 1NC auxiliary contact for interlock circuits.

Questions about this item

What panel cut-out fits the 3.54 in by 3.54 in base?

The contactor base is 3.54 in wide by 3.54 in high, so a square cut-out slightly larger than 3.54 in on each side will accommodate it.

How is the 24 V DC coil wired, and what mistake causes the reversing function to fail?

Connect 24 V DC to the coil terminals A1 and A2; the common error is powering only one coil, leaving the other direction inactive.

When should the auxiliary 1 NC contact be replaced?

Replace the 1 NC auxiliary contact when it no longer breaks the control circuit cleanly or shows pitting after repeated 6 A inductive switching.
