For AC-2 slip-ring motor duty, it's rated 4 kW at 400 V. The AC-4 reversing duty rating is 8.5 A at 400 V, which matters when you need frequent plugging or inching. The main circuit uses spring-loaded terminals accepting 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, or 2x AWG 24 to 14. No screwdriver needed for the power connections — strip, push, done. ## Environmental and protection Rated pollution degree 3, meaning it's suitable for industrial atmospheres with conductive dust or condensation. IP20 on the front and terminals — finger-safe but not washdown-rated, so keep it inside the enclosure. For type 1 coordination (contactor may need replacement after fault), use 35 A gL/gG fuses. Mechanical endurance is typical 30 million operations, so this is a fast mover for high-cycle applications like conveyors or packaging lines.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT1016-2AP61 SIRIUS Power Contactor, S00, 5.5 kW at","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1016-2AP61 power contactor, size S00, 5.5 kW at 690 V AC-3, 4 kW at 400 V AC-2.
