Description

LS Electric Metasol – MC-18a/4

4-pole magnetic contactor based on the MC-18a frame: 18 A rating per pole, useful where neutral or an extra pole must be switched (same accessory/coil options as MC-18a).

The Polar Energy Assessment:

Same small footprint and long electrical life as MC-18a, but with an added pole for neutral switching or multi-circuit control. Ideal for compact panels that must isolate neutral or handle specific wiring rules. Keep an eye on slightly increased depth/weight vs 3-pole variants.

Pros

  • Neutral switching or 4-pole functionality without stepping up frame size.
  • Good accessory support (MT overloads, auxiliaries).

Limitations

  • Rated only 18 A AC-3; not for moderate/heavy motors.
  • IP20; enclosure recommended for industrial dirty/wet sites.

Typical use cases

  • Panels requiring neutral isolation or transfer switching.
  • Compact control cabinets with 4-pole wiring needs.
