This rating governs the maximum motor full-load current it can handle under starting and running conditions, not the resistive-heat rating. For a 480 V motor drawing 96 A FLA, this contactor fits without derating; for higher currents, step up to the next frame size. ## DIN-Rail Mounting and Panel Clearances Mounts via screw and snap-on onto 35 mm standard rail per DIN EN 60715. The mounting position allows +/-180° rotation on a vertical surface and +/-22.5° tilt forward/backward. Minimum clearances: 10 mm upwards, 10 mm downwards, 20 mm forwards, 10 mm at the side — these keep the arc-chamber venting and heat dissipation within spec. ## Wiring Terminals: Screw-Type, Dual-Rated Conductors Main contact terminals accept solid conductors 2.5 to 16 mm² or stranded 6 to 70 mm². The magnet coil uses screw-type terminals; auxiliary switch wiring takes 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²). This dual-range entry covers both panel-building with fine-stranded control wire and power-side lugs for heavier feeds.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2046-1AV60-0UA0 Contactor, 96 A at 480 V, Size S3","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT2046-1AV60-0UA0 contactor, Size S3, rated 96 A at 480 V AC-3.
