That AC-3 rating governs switching of squirrel-cage motors during starting and running — the 16 A figure is the continuous current the main poles carry with the motor at full load, not the inrush. The 400 V AC coil pulls in on 50 Hz and accepts 400–440 V on 60 Hz, so a single coil variant covers both mains frequencies across Europe and North America without a coil swap. ## Contact arrangement and panel fit Four main poles split as 2 normally open and 2 normally closed — the NO pair switches the motor phases while the NC pair can break a separate control circuit or a second load. Screw terminals on the S00 footprint keep wiring straightforward for a panel builder: the 61.5 x 50.0 x 77.5 mm envelope fits standard DIN-rail mounting in a control cabinet, and the compact S00 frame leaves room for adjacent overload relays or auxiliary contact blocks in the same row.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT2518-1AR60 Power Contactor, AC-3 16A, 7.5kW/400V","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RT2518-1AR60 power contactor, AC-3 rated 16A, 7.5kW/400V. 4-pole with 2NO+2NC main contacts, 400V AC coil.
