In AC-4 duty (plugging, inching) it's rated 30 kW at 400 V — the more severe switching condition that governs real reversing life. ## Mounting and wiring that saves panel time Main circuit terminals accept 2x (1…35 mm²) solid or 1x (1…50 mm²) — enough for the full current range without a lug adapter. Dimensions: 141 mm high, 120 mm wide, 130 mm deep — the S2 frame size fits standard panel layouts with 10 mm clearance needed above, below, and to the sides (0 mm rear clearance). The supplied contactors (3RT2038-1AP60) are standard SIRIUS units, so spares and replacement coils are widely available through the same channel.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA2338-8XB30-1AP6 SIRIUS Reversing Contactor","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS reversing contactor assembly 3RA2338-8XB30-1AP6, 37 kW at 400 V AC-3, 65 A at 480 V.
