Schneider Electric D201380L – TeSys D 20 A Contactor for 380 VAC Coil Motor Control

From my experience, buyers reference D201380L when they need a TeSys D contactor in the 20 A frame with a 380 VAC, 50/60 Hz coil for standard motor starters and general-purpose switching. It’s a straightforward, dependable contactor that drops neatly into MCC panels or machine control cabinets. One thing I appreciate is how it pairs smoothly with common Schneider overload relays and accessories, so panel updates or retrofits are usually painless.

Key Features

• 380 VAC coil (50/60 Hz) – Suited for 380 V control circuits commonly found in legacy and export panels.
• TeSys D 20 A frame – Typically supports AC-3 motor loads around 11 kW at 400 V, giving reliable switching for mid-size motors.
• 3-pole main contacts – Standard NO main contacts for motor control; auxiliary blocks can be added as needed.
• DIN-rail or panel mounting – Speeds up assembly and keeps maintenance simple in crowded cabinets.
• Wide accessory ecosystem – Compatible with TeSys front/side auxiliaries, mechanical interlocks, and thermal overloads for a complete starter.
• Industrial compliance – Built to IEC 60947-4-1; typically carries CE and UL/CSA approvals for global projects.
• Designed for longevity – High mechanical endurance and consistent coil performance in most plant conditions.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

This contactor fits well in motor starters for pumps, fans, and compressors; conveyor lines and packaging machines; HVAC air-handling units; small process skids; and OEM machinery exported to regions where 380 V control coils are still common. Many maintenance teams keep this frame size on hand because it seems to be the sweet spot for 5.5–11 kW motors on 380/400 V systems.

Advantages & Value

• Reliable, proven platform – TeSys D contactors are widely used, making replacements and support straightforward.
• Compatibility – Works with standard Schneider overload relays (e.g., LRD series) and motor circuit breakers (GV2), reducing engineering time.
• Inventory efficiency – One frame covers many loads; only the coil voltage varies, which simplifies spares planning.
• Global compliance – CE and North American listings typically help with multi-country projects and audits.
• Total cost of ownership – Durable contacts and quick accessory mounting keep installation and downtime costs in check.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet environment – Mount in a ventilated enclosure conforming to IEC/UL standards; avoid hotspots near drives or soft starters without airflow.
• Wiring – Use appropriately rated copper conductors; torque terminals per datasheet. Add RC or varistor suppression if coil-induced transients affect PLC inputs.
• Coordination – Pair with a correctly sized thermal overload (class 10) and upstream short-circuit protection per IEC 60947 coordination charts.
• Routine checks – Inspect contact wear and terminal tightness during shutdowns; clean dust buildup; confirm coil voltage is within tolerance when energized.
• Spares strategy – Keep a spare coil/contact kit or a full spare contactor on the shelf for critical motors; change-out time is typically just a few minutes.

Quality & Certifications

• Standards: IEC 60947-4-1
• Certifications: CE; UL; CSA; RoHS (typical for the TeSys D family)
• Manufacturer’s warranty: 12 months (365 days)

Commonly Paired Components

• Schneider LRD thermal overload relay (matched to motor FLA)
• Schneider GV2 motor circuit breaker for short-circuit protection
• Front/side auxiliary contact blocks for interlocks and feedback
• Mechanical interlock kits for forward/reverse starter assemblies
