LS Electric Metasol – MC-800a

LS Electric Metasol MC-800a, 3-pole heavy-frame contactor in the 800 A class, for high-current industrial switching. 3-pole magnetic contactor rated around 800 A AC-3, available with wide coil bands including AC100–240 V and DC100–220 V, and typically supplied with 2 NO + 2 NC auxiliaries.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

Built for serious power, this contactor handles large motor feeders and subpanel duties. Expect bolt mounting, lug or busbar terminations, and careful coordination with upstream protection. Confirm PN for exact terminal style and coil band.

Pros

• 800 A continuous AC-3 capacity for large feeders.
• Wide coil band options reduce SKU count for multi-region deployments.
• 2a2b auxiliaries for reliable control feedback.

Limitations

• Larger footprint and weight.
• IP20; enclosure recommended for industrial dirty/wet sites.
• Verify busbar lug sizes and torque specs per PN.

Typical use cases

• Large motor banks and compressor starters.
• Subpanel and distribution switching in heavy industry.
• Utility or renewable energy plant switching where high amperage contactors are required.
