It belongs to the SIRIUS family, Siemens' modular contactor line for motor switching and general load control in industrial control panels. The spring-type terminals accept solid or stranded conductors from 0.5 to 4 mm² (2x per clamp), and the mounting position is flexible: +/-180° rotation on a vertical surface, plus +/-22.5° tilt forward/backward. This gives panel builders room to fit it into tight enclosures without rewiring constraints. ## Switching Capability and Duty Cycles Maximum operating frequency varies by duty: 1,000 switching cycles per hour under AC-1 (resistive load), 750/h under AC-2 and AC-3 (motor starting/running), and 250/h under AC-4 (plugging/inching). The AC-3e rating matches the AC-3 limit at 750/h. These limits define the thermal cycling the contactor can sustain — exceeding them accelerates contact wear. Auxiliary contact ratings are provided across multiple voltages: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V and 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, and 3 A at 400 V. The arcing time spans 10 to 15 ms. These values matter for control circuit coordination — the auxiliary switch can handle pilot duty loads within those limits. Physical footprint: 45 mm wide, 70 mm high, 73 mm deep. These spacing figures govern heat dissipation and arc flash clearance in a DIN-rail enclosure. The storage limit is a handling spec, not an operating one — the contactor can survive colder warehouse conditions than it can run in.","metaTitle":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2016-2AP02-ZW97 Power Contactor, Size S00,","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2016-2AP02-ZW97 power contactor.
