LS Electric Authorized Supplier in Saudi Arabia

Razz Middle East is an authorized LS Electric distributor in Saudi Arabia, supplying the full LS Electric low-voltage and automation portfolio — Susol ACBs, Metasol MCCBs, S100 variable frequency drives, iS7 industrial drives, XGT PLCs and LSLV soft starters — to EPC contractors, MCC panel builders, system integrators and industrial end-users across the Kingdom. LS Electric (rebranded from LSIS in 2021) is Korea's largest integrated electrical and energy company, with over 50 years of manufacturing history and ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 certified facilities producing IEC-standard switchgear and automation equipment tested to the same standards as ABB and Schneider Electric — at 30–40% lower cost.

The Susol ABS series air circuit breaker is LS Electric's flagship product in Saudi Arabia: rated to IEC 62271-100 and IEC 60947-2, it matches ABB Emax and Schneider Masterpact frame sizes and interrupting capacity ratings (up to 85 kA at 415 V), making it a direct BOM substitute on Saudi switchgear and MCC panels where budget is the deciding factor. The S100 variable frequency drive (0.4–75 kW) stands out among Korean drives for its native onboard PROFIBUS DP and EtherNet/IP fieldbus ports — no additional option card, no extra cost — a significant advantage for Saudi petrochemical sites and process plants where Siemens and Rockwell DCS systems expect standard fieldbus connections from every field device.

The XGT PLC range (XGI CPU: 5 μs scan, up to 65536 I/O; XGB compact: 48 I/O) supports Modbus, CC-Link and Ethernet communications and is widely used in Saudi OEM packaging and material-handling machines where a cost-competitive, reliable PLC is needed without the premium of a European or Japanese brand. Razz Middle East stocks LS Electric Metasol MCCBs (TD040N–TS800N, 40–800 A), Susol ACBs (ABS 400–4000 A) and S100 drives (0.4–22 kW) in Jeddah for immediate dispatch on MCC panel and maintenance orders.

LS Electric products are extensively used across Saudi Arabia's EPC and construction sector, where IEC-certified switchgear and drives are specified at the lowest viable budget. Saudi MCC panel builders particularly value the Susol ABS ACB for its frame-for-frame interchangeability with European brands, enabling straightforward substitution on approved-vendor-list projects without requiring re-engineering of the panel layout. The S100 and iS7 VFD ranges are favoured by Saudi mechanical contractors for pump, fan and conveyor applications, while XGT PLCs appear in packaging, materials handling and utilities projects from the Jeddah Industrial Valley to the Riyadh dry port logistics zone. Razz Middle East maintains Jeddah stock of LS Electric's fastest-moving items: Metasol MCCB (TD040N, TD100N, TS160N, TS250N, TS400N, TS630N, TS800N), Susol ACB (ABS-4H 400A to ABS-63H 6300A), GMC contactors (9A–800A), LSLV-S100 drives (0.4–22 kW), iS7 drives (0.75–45 kW) and XGB compact PLCs. For larger Susol frame sizes, iP5A regenerative drives and XGI rack PLCs, we source on project lead time from our regional logistics hub.

LS Electric Applications in Saudi Arabia

Commercial and Industrial MCC Panels — Main Incoming ACBs

LS Electric Susol ABS air circuit breakers (400A–6300A, IEC 62271-100 rated to 85 kA) are specified as main incoming ACBs in large Saudi commercial buildings, mall power distribution centres, hospital electrical rooms and mid-sized industrial plant incoming switchboards. Susol ABS matches ABB Emax2 and Schneider Masterpact MTZ in frame size, terminal pattern and breaking capacity (up to 85 kA at 415 V), enabling direct BOM substitution at 30–40% lower cost. Saudi MEP contractors and panel builders who combine a Susol ACB for the main incoming with Schneider Acti9 or Legrand DX3 for sub-distribution circuits achieve significant overall LV switchboard cost savings without compromising IEC 62271-100 compliance.

Industrial Motor Control Centres — Metasol MCCBs and Starter Panels

Metasol MCCB (TD040N 40A through TS800N 800A, 50–85 kA breaking capacity, IEC 60947-2 type-tested) is specified in Saudi industrial MCCs, motor starter panels and process control distribution boards where budget-conscious purchasing is prioritized. The Metasol frame footprint is mechanically compatible with ABB Tmax and Schneider NSX in many configurations, allowing Saudi panel builders to standardize on Metasol MCCBs in the field terminal section while maintaining quick-swap interchangeability if replacement stock from a premium brand is required on-site. LS Electric GMC contactors (6A–800A) pair with Metasol and NXB MCBs in soft-starter and motor-control circuits on Saudi water-pumping systems, HVAC plant and conveyor systems.

HVAC, Pump and Conveyor Control — iS7 Variable-Frequency Drives

LS Electric iS7 variable-frequency drives (0.75–630 kW, 400V, IP54/IP55) are used in Saudi HVAC systems, irrigation pump control, district cooling distribution networks and conveyor systems in commercial and light industrial facilities. The iS7's built-in Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP communication capability eliminates the need for external fieldbus adapter cards on Saudi BMS-integrated drive applications. iS7 drives are specified on Vision 2030 energy-efficiency retrofit projects where legacy HVAC systems are upgraded with modern VFD control at cost below European alternatives.

Water Treatment and Light Manufacturing Automation — XGT PLC Systems

XGT PLC systems (XGI-CPUS: 5 μs scan, up to 65536 I/O; XGB-DN48: 48 I/O) are used in Saudi water treatment plant automation, HVAC control panel logic and light manufacturing machine sequencing where a cost-competitive open-protocol PLC is acceptable to the systems integrator. XGT's native Modbus, CC-Link and Ethernet support provide integration flexibility without the premium cost of Siemens S7-1500 or Mitsubishi iQ-R.

Why Buy LS Electric from Razz Middle East?

Susol ABS ACB: IEC-Rated Performance at 30–40% Lower Cost Than ABB/Schneider

The LS Electric Susol ABS air circuit breaker carries identical IEC 62271-100 ratings to ABB Emax2 and Schneider Masterpact MTZ — same frame sizes, same kA breaking capacities, same terminal bolt patterns. For Saudi panel builders and EPC contractors working to a budget, the Susol delivers technically equivalent switchgear protection at 30–40% less cost without requiring any re-engineering of the MCC or switchboard layout.

S100 Drive: Native PROFIBUS DP and EtherNet/IP — No Extra Card Needed

The LS Electric S100 VFD is one of the few drives in its class (0.4–75 kW) to ship with PROFIBUS DP and EtherNet/IP communication ports as standard — no add-on option card and no additional cost. For Saudi petrochemical, utility and process sites where Siemens TIA Portal or Rockwell FactoryTalk DCS systems expect standard fieldbus connections from every variable-speed drive, the S100 removes the integration cost and module compatibility risk that affects many competitor drives.

LS Electric Rebrand Clarity: Same LSIS Factory, New Name Since 2021

LS Electric rebranded from LSIS in 2021 — the same Anyang, South Korea factory, the same engineering teams and the same product lines with continuous part-number compatibility. Saudi buyers who approved LSIS products on their vendor lists can confirm the continuity directly with Razz: product data sheets, test certificates and quality documentation carry the LS Electric name but originate from the same manufacturing facility and supply chain.

LS Electric vs Alternatives — Saudi Market

The most common LS Electric comparisons we get asked about in Saudi Arabia are Susol ABS vs ABB Emax2 and Susol vs Schneider Masterpact MTZ — both premium-brand switchgear dominating Saudi specifications.

Susol ABS vs ABB Emax2: Both are IEC 62271-100 air circuit breakers with equivalent frame sizes, terminal patterns and breaking capacities (up to 85 kA at 415 V). Susol costs 30–40% less due to Korean manufacturing and lower distribution margin. ABB Emax2 has stronger brand recognition among Saudi consulting engineers and is specified by name on Aramco, SABIC and NEOM project vendor-preference AVLs. On open-specification commercial building and private industrial projects where the main incoming ACB is engineer-specified but brand is not locked, Susol ABS is a technically compliant, cost-competitive choice. The decision typically depends on project risk tolerance: premium European brand vs 30-40% acquisition savings.

Susol ABS vs Schneider Masterpact MTZ: Similar positioning to the ABB comparison — both are IEC-certified, both match frame sizes and breaking capacities. Schneider has broader Saudi consulting engineer brand preference and stronger Aramco/SABIC project history; LS Electric offers significant cost savings. Korean and Korean-influenced design teams (common on industrial and EPC projects) often standardize on Susol and LS Electric products by default.

Metasol MCCB vs Siemens 3VA and Schneider NSX: Metasol delivers IEC 60947-2 compliance at 40–50% below European MCCB costs. All three brands are accepted on Saudi panel-builder specifications. The choice is typically driven by panel builder's preferred vendor relationship, local stock availability and project budget, rather than technical performance differences.

LS Electric in Saudi Arabia — Frequently Asked Questions

Is LS Electric the same as LSIS?

Yes — LS Electric rebranded from LSIS (LS Industrial Systems) in 2021, consolidating all industrial and energy operations under a single brand name. The manufacturing facilities in Anyang and Cheongju, South Korea are unchanged, product quality and engineering teams are the same, and part numbers remain fully backward-compatible. Saudi buyers who have LSIS equipment on existing installations can source LS Electric replacement parts from Razz Middle East with confidence in full compatibility — the only change is the name on the label and the branding on the packaging.

How does the Susol ABS ACB compare to ABB Emax and Schneider Masterpact?

The LS Electric Susol ABS ACB is designed to IEC 62271-100 and IEC 60947-2 to the same performance class as ABB Emax2 and Schneider Masterpact MTZ. Frame sizes match: ABS-4H equates to E4/MTZ4, ABS-8H to E6/MTZ6, and so on. Breaking capacity ratings (up to 85 kA at 415 V) and terminal bolt patterns are compatible, enabling frame-for-frame substitution on Saudi switchgear and MCC panels without re-engineering the panel structure. The Susol ACB is 30–40% lower in cost than equivalent ABB and Schneider frames, making it the preferred choice for Saudi EPC projects where technical compliance is required but budget is constrained.

Why does the S100 drive have an advantage over other Korean VFDs for Saudi projects?

Most Korean variable frequency drives in the 0.4–75 kW class — including some LS Electric competitors — require a purchased option board to add PROFIBUS DP or EtherNet/IP fieldbus communication. The LS Electric S100 includes both PROFIBUS DP and EtherNet/IP as built-in standard ports, with no additional hardware purchase. For Saudi petrochemical, water treatment and industrial process projects where the DCS or SCADA system (typically Siemens, Honeywell, Rockwell or Emerson) expects drives to communicate over PROFIBUS or EtherNet/IP, the S100's standard communication eliminates the integration risk, the option-card procurement lead time and the additional cost typically associated with Korean-brand drives on sophisticated process sites.

Are LS Electric products accepted on Aramco and SABIC approved vendor lists?

LS Electric products carry IEC certifications (IEC 60947-2, IEC 60947-4-1, IEC 62271-100) and have been tested by internationally accredited third-party laboratories including KEMA, DEKRA and SGS. For Saudi Aramco procurement, acceptance on the Vendor Pre-Qualification (VPQ) system depends on the specific commodity and whether LS Electric's quality documents meet the relevant SAES or approved material standards. Many Saudi EPC contractors and industrial buyers have successfully used LS Electric Metasol MCCBs and GMC contactors on Aramco and SABIC project sites under engineer-specified substitution approvals. Razz Middle East can provide full IEC test certificates, factory inspection reports and third-party test data to support technical approval submissions.
