That means the coil pulls hard to seat the armature quickly, then holds at a lower sealed power — 2 VA at both 50 and 60 Hz. Main contacts are screw-type terminals accepting 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire. An auxiliary switch is built in, saving an add-on block for basic status feedback. The listed MTBF of 52 a gives a reliability benchmark for maintenance planning. That figure is a statistical mean — not a guaranteed service life — but it supports the contactor's use in continuous-duty applications where unscheduled downtime matters. The contactor measures 114 mm high by 55 mm wide by 130 mm deep — the S2 frame fits standard 55 mm-wide DIN-rail slots. ## Switching duty and mechanical life Rated switching frequencies vary by duty: AC-1 (resistive) at 700 operations/hour, AC-3 (motor starting) at 500/h, AC-4 (plugging/inching) at 150/h. The AC-3e maximum is also 500/h. These ratings govern how fast the contactor can cycle without exceeding thermal limits. Mechanical life is listed at 5,000,000 operations typical. Arcing time runs 10 to 20 ms, and both AC and DC operate times are 30 to 55 ms — consistent with a general-purpose power contactor for motor control.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2038-1SP30 SIRIUS Power Contactor, 175-280 VAC Co","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2038-1SP30 power contactor, Size S2, 175-280 VAC coil, screw terminals.
