Rated at 55 kW at 400 V in AC-3 duty (squirrel-cage motors) and 45 kW at 400 V in AC-2 duty (slip-ring motors), it handles the heavy switching cycles common on conveyor drives, pumps, and compressors. Main circuit terminals accept solid conductors from 0.5 mm² up to 16 mm² (two per clamp) and stranded conductors from 10 mm² to 50 mm². The screw-type terminals are the standard choice for panel builders who prefer a proven, torque-controlled connection over spring-cage alternatives. The contactor carries an IP20 rating on the front with a cover or box terminal; the terminal area itself is IP00, so it requires enclosure protection in dusty or wet environments. Storage temperature spans -55 °C to +80 °C. RoHS compliance date is May 1, 2012, covering the EU RoHS scope.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT1046-1AD00 SIRIUS Power Contactor, 55 kW AC-3","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT1046-1AD00 SIRIUS power contactor, 55 kW at 400 V AC-3, 80 A AC-4.
