Description
LS Electric Metasol – MC-150a
3-pole magnetic contactor rated for ≈150 A (AC-3) with typical built-in auxiliary contacts (1 NO + 1 NC) and available lug/screw terminal options; used for higher mid-power motor starters and panel feeders.
The Polar Energy Assessment:
The MC-150a is a straight-forward mid-power contactor: a step up from 130 A class with slightly more margin for larger motors (50 HP @ 230 V / 100 HP @ 460 V per vendor listings). It remains compact enough to fit many control panels while offering standard Metasol accessory compatibility.
Pros
- 150 A AC-3 capacity; handles medium motors
- Multiple coil voltage options and lug/screw termination options.
- Common auxiliary configuration and accessory ecosystem.
Limitations
- Heavier and wider than smaller Metasol frames; plan panel layout.
- IP20 standard
Typical use cases
- Motor starters for ~50 HP @230 V or ~100 HP @460 V.
- Panel feeders and moderate distribution switching.
- OEM and retrofit applications needing extra current capacity but not heavy-frame gear.
