It's rated AC-3e at 58 A and 690 V, which means it handles the inrush and running current of a 25.4 kW induction motor at that voltage without welding the contacts. The screw-type terminals on both main and auxiliary circuits accept 2x (2.5 to 16 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x (10 to 1/0) AWG. It snaps onto standard 35 mm or 75 mm DIN rail, or screws direct to a backplate. Footprint is 70 mm wide by 146 mm tall by 139 mm deep. That 70 mm width is the slot it takes up on the DIN rail — plan for it when laying out the row of contactors and overloads.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RT5046-1AP00 SIRIUS Power Contactor, AC-3e 58 A at","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RT5046-1AP00 power contactor, S3 size.

It shares the same AC-3e 58 A at 690 V rating and the same screw/snap-on mounting. The difference is in the auxiliary contact configuration — the -1AP00 carries a specific contact arrangement that the -1AM00 may not match. Verify the auxiliary contact block on your BOM before swapping."},{"question":"What are the key ratings for 3RT5046-1AP00?","answer":"AC-3e rated 58 A at 690 V, delivering 25.4 kW motor power. The contactor handles 5,000 operating cycles per hour at AC, with a maximum of 900/h at AC-1 and 850/h at AC-3.
