It ships with two 3RT2018-2BW42 contactors and the 3RA2913-2AA2 reversing kit already assembled, so the interlock timing and mechanical anti-overlap are set at the factory. ## Motor power ratings and duty cycle At 480 V the assembly carries 14 A continuous; at 600 V it carries 11 A — the current ceiling drops as voltage rises, which is typical for contactor thermal limits. ## Mounting and panel integration Clearance around the assembly: 6 mm upward, forward, downward, and to the side; 0 mm backward. ## Termination and wiring Auxiliary and control circuits also use spring-loaded terminals, consistent with the main circuit — one tool type for the whole assembly. AWG range for main contacts is 1x (20... 12), covering typical motor feeder sizes in that power class. ## Environmental and compliance Shock resistance rated 11.4 g / 5 ms and 7.3 g / 10 ms for both AC and DC axes.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA2318-8XB30-2BW4 Reversing Contactor Assembly","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS reversing contactor assembly, size S00, rated 7.5 kW at 400 V AC-3.
