At 230 V the same contactor is rated 15 hp, which lines up with typical NEMA motor frame assignments for that voltage class. Switching rate for AC-3 duty is 1,000 operations per hour maximum — that's the thermal limit of the arc chamber, not the coil; if your application cycles faster, you'll need to step up to a larger frame or a dedicated switching contactor. Standing position on a horizontal surface is the specified orientation; the contactor is 70 mm wide, 140 mm tall, 152 mm deep, so budget for the depth when laying out the gland plate. Main circuit wiring accepts solid 2.5–16 mm² or stranded 6–70 mm². ## Auxiliary contacts and coil ratings Built-in auxiliary switch (1 NO + 2 NC main contacts per the 10...2 configuration) — no separate add-on block needed for basic feedback to the PLC. Arcing time is 10–20 ms, and the operate/release times at AC are 10–21 ms — fast enough for most motor control schemes but not for precision synchronisation; if you need contact closure within a few ms of a signal, add a fast-acting relay. No stock-holding claim; we quote per RFQ from authorized distribution.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2045-1AB00-1AA0 SIRIUS Power Contactor","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT2045-1AB00-1AA0 SIRIUS power contactor, Size S3, rated 77 A at 480 V AC-3.
