Description
LS Electric Metasol – MC-265a
3-pole magnetic contactor rated ≈265 A (AC-3) (≈300 A AC-1) with side-mounted auxiliaries (typical 1 NO + 1 NC per side or 2a2b SKUs), screw terminals and DIN-rail / panel mounting options.
The Polar Energy Assessment:
A mid-to-large frame contactor for serious panel feeders: enough capacity to handle larger small motors and moderate distribution duties without jumping into kA heavy-frame gear. Use for pump banks, larger conveyors or where a compact 265 A contactor simplifies layout. Check exact PN for auxiliary config and coil band.
Pros
- Good mid-frame current rating for moderate industrial feeders (265 A AC-3).
- Multiple coil bands (AC and DC options available in family).
- Vendor-backed accessory support (auxiliary blocks, overload relays).
Limitations
- Still requires busbar/lug planning and enclosure space.
- IP20; enclosure recommended for industrial dirty/wet sites.
Typical use cases
- Medium motor starters (pumps, mid conveyors).
- Panel feeders and OEM equipment needing ~265 A switching.
