Rated at 45 kW at 500 V AC-3 and 21.1 kW at 690 V AC-3, this contactor handles standard three-phase induction motors up to those power levels. The maximum mechanical switching frequency at AC-3 is 1 000 operations per hour, adequate for most conveyor and pump cycles. ## Environmental and protection specs IP20 on the front with the cover or box terminal installed; the terminal area itself is IP00, so the contactor must be mounted inside an enclosure that provides the required system IP rating.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT1045-3AP60 SIRIUS Power Contactor, 45 kW at 500 V","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT1045-3AP60 SIRIUS power contactor, size S3, screw terminals, 45 kW at 500 V AC-3, 21.1 kW at 690 V.
