Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (10... 50 mm²) stranded or 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid, so it lands comfortably on motor feeds up to that cross-section. The AC-3 rating at 500 V — 37 kW — is the number that decides whether this contactor handles your motor. AC-4 at 400 V, 55 A, covers reversing and inching where the contacts open under full load current — a harder duty that drives contact life. The mechanical life is listed at 10,000,000 operations typical, but the electrical life depends on which duty cycle you run: at AC-3 it's rated for 1,000 switching cycles per hour, at AC-4 it drops to 300 per hour. That's the real constraint for a high-cycle application like a conveyor reverser. Snaps onto 35 mm or 75 mm DIN rail; screw-fastening optional. S3 frame size is 146 mm high, 70 mm wide, 139 mm deep. IP20 on the front with cover; terminal area is IP00.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT1044-3AH00 SIRIUS S3 Power Contactor, 37 kW AC-3","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT1044-3AH00 SIRIUS S3 power contactor, 37 kW at 500 V AC-3, 55 A AC-4 at 400 V.

The terminal wiring differs: the -3AH00 uses screw-type terminals on the main circuit, while the -1FB46 may use spring-cage or other terminations. Check the terminal style on your existing panel before swapping; if it's screw terminals, it's a direct mechanical fit."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT1044-3AH00?","answer":"RoHS compliant with substance prohibition date May 1, 2012.
