EE Controls LSN7-400-A → WEG CWM18-00-40V18

You are still specifying the same thing: a 4-pole lighting contactor, a coil voltage, and normally open or normally closed. The CWM18-00-40V18 is the part EE Controls gives as the cross-reference for the LSN7-400-A. The WEG datasheet for the CWM18-00-40V18 is linked in the documents section below. Read the ratings comparison below before you order, and check the coil line in particular.

View WEG CWM18-00-40V18

The EE Controls LSN7-400-A is a 4-pole, normally open, electrically held lighting contactor with a 120 VAC 50/60 Hz control coil, rated 30 A for ballast and LED loads to 600 VAC under AC-5a and AC-5b, and 32 A breaking all lines at 600 VAC. In the LSN7-400-A, all four poles are open with the coil de-energized, so the lighting circuits go off when control power is lost. EE Controls has discontinued this catalog number and cross-references it to the WEG CWM18-00-40V18.

The LSN7 to CWM18 crossover part numbers on this page were supplied by EE Controls. They are not printed in either manufacturer datasheet, so treat them as a vendor-supplied cross-reference rather than a published equivalency. Confirm fit and ratings against your own submittal before you order.

What the swap changes

Poles and switching

Four main poles either way, switching up to four lighting circuits from one control point. WEG's datasheet for the CWM18-00-40V18 states 4 NO main contacts and no auxiliary contacts.

Coil voltage

The coils are not documented identically. EE Controls lists coil code A as 120 VAC at 50/60 Hz. WEG's datasheet for the CWM18-00-40V18 lists 110 V at 50 Hz and 120 V at 60 Hz. On a 120 V, 60 Hz control circuit the two published coil ratings align at 120 V. On 50 Hz they are not the same, so confirm before you use this on an export panel.

Fail state

Both parts are normally open, so on a loss of control power the lights go off. For the CWM18-00-40V18 this comes from the EE Controls cross-reference and is consistent with the 4 NO main contacts in WEG's datasheet.

Panel footprint

The LSN7 drawing and the WEG CWM18-00-40V18 datasheet both give an 81 x 45 x 87 mm body. Mounting is where they part company on paper: EE Controls publishes 35 mm DIN rail or panel surface, WEG's datasheet lists installation as not available. Check your rail and backplate.

Terminations

Tightening torque matches in both documents at 15 lb.in on the power terminals and 10 lb.in on the control terminals. Conductor range does not compare directly: EE Controls publishes 14-10 AWG and 16-12 AWG, WEG publishes its conductor sections in mm2 only.

Brand and label

The contactor ships marked WEG rather than EE Controls, so any submittal, panel schedule or drawing that calls out the LSN7 by catalog number needs updating.

Read the five amber lines before you order. The coil is the one that matters most on a control circuit: EE Controls documents 120 V at both 50 and 60 Hz, WEG documents 110 V at 50 Hz and 120 V at 60 Hz, so the two agree on 60 Hz service and not on 50 Hz. The AC-5a and AC-5b lighting rating is printed on the EE Controls nameplate and is not published by WEG at all, so if your specification cites an AC-5 figure, contact us before you order and we will get it confirmed in writing. Mounting and AWG conductor ranges are published by EE Controls and not by WEG, which does not mean they differ, only that WEG's datasheet does not state them.

Frequently asked questions

What replaces the EE Controls LSN7-400-A?

EE Controls cross-references the LSN7-400-A to the WEG CWM18-00-40V18. That crossover comes from EE Controls rather than from a published manufacturer equivalency document, so confirm ratings and fit against your own submittal.

Will the WEG CWM18-00-40V18 fit where the LSN7-400-A was?

Treat it as a cross-reference to verify, not a documented drop-in. The body size matches at 81 x 45 x 87 mm in both documents and the terminal torque matches at 15 lb.in and 10 lb.in. WEG's datasheet does not publish mounting information, does not publish conductor ranges in AWG, and documents the coil as 110 V at 50 Hz and 120 V at 60 Hz rather than 120 V at both. Check those three points against your panel before you order.

Does the WEG CWM18-00-40V18 use the same coil voltage as the LSN7-400-A?

Not identically. EE Controls lists coil code A on the LSN7-400-A as 120 VAC at both 50 and 60 Hz. WEG's datasheet for the CWM18-00-40V18 lists 110 V at 50 Hz and 120 V at 60 Hz. On a 120 V, 60 Hz control circuit the two published coil ratings align at 120 V. On a 50 Hz circuit they do not, so confirm the coil rating before using the CWM18-00-40V18 outside 60 Hz service.

How similar are the EE Controls LSN7 and the WEG CWM18?

On published data they line up on most lines. The LSN7 nameplate and the WEG CWM18-00-40V18 datasheet give the same 18 A AC-3 rating at 440 V and below. Both also publish a 32 A figure for general purpose duty, though each states it under its own description: EE Controls states 32 A breaking all lines at 600 VAC, WEG states 32 A under AC-1 at Ue 690 V or less and 55 C or less. They also give the same AC-1 and AC-3 power ratings at 240, 400, 440 and 500 V, the same UL single-phase and three-phase horsepower ratings, the same 5 kA short-circuit rating, the same terminal torques and the same 81 x 45 x 87 mm body. They differ on 5 published lines: the coil frequency split, the 500 V AC-3 current, conductor ranges in AWG, mounting, and the AC-5a / AC-5b lighting rating. The comparison table on this page shows each line with its source.

What is the amperage rating I should be specifying?

For lighting duty the EE Controls nameplate figure on the LSN7-400-A is 30 A ballast and LED at 600 VAC under AC-5a and AC-5b. The general purpose figure, breaking all lines at 600 VAC, is 32 A. The motor figure is 18 A AC-3 at 440 V and below. Those are three different rating categories, so match the category to the load you are switching rather than reading across. WEG does not publish an AC-5a or AC-5b rating for the CWM18, so if your specification cites one, ask us to get it confirmed in writing.

Why is the LSN7-400-A normally open?

The LSN7-400-A is normally open (NO), which means all four poles are open with the coil de-energized, so the lighting circuits go off when control power is lost. EE Controls cross-references it to the CWM18-00-40V18, which is also normally open, so the intended fail state of the circuit is the same.

Are the other LSN7 coil voltages still available?

Some LSN7 coil voltages are still on the shelf at ZOT Supply. Crossover part numbers for those coil voltages have not been issued to us yet. Contact us for current availability on a specific coil code.

Can I still buy the LSN7-400-A?

No. The LSN7-400-A is discontinued and is no longer available for purchase from ZOT Supply.

What if I need the normally closed version instead?

EE Controls cross-references the LSN7-04-A to the WEG CWM18-00-04X18, which is the 4-pole normally closed version.
