The AC-3 rating is the one that governs real induction-motor duty — the 22 kW at 400 V AC-2 and 11.4 kW at 690 V cover resistive or lightly inductive circuits, but the 30 kW at 500 V is the headline number for a 3-phase motor on a 480 V line. Mechanical life is rated at 10 million operations typical, with maximum switching rates of 800 cycles per hour in AC-3 and 1000 in AC-1. The coil operating range holds at 0.8 to 1.1 times rated voltage at both 50 and 60 Hz, with an arcing time of 10 to 15 ms and an AC operating time of 7 to 20 ms. Side-by-side mounting is supported, which matters for dense panel layouts where contactors sit adjacent without derating. Main circuit terminals are screw-type, accepting solid conductors from 2x 0.5 to 1.5 mm² up to 2x 0.75 to 4 mm², and stranded conductors from 2x 0.75 to 25 mm². The combined solid-or-stranded range covers 2x 0.75 to 16 mm². This gives flexibility for both panel-building with ferruled stranded wire and field retrofits using solid THHN.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT1036-1AK60-ZW96 SIRIUS Power Contactor, 30 kW at","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1036-1AK60-ZW96 power contactor, size S2, 30 kW at 500 V AC-3.
