What the AC-3 rating means for motor control
The 3RA2210-0CE15-2BB4: The 60 kW figure at 400 V is the maximum motor power the contactor can handle under AC-3 duty, but the 0.25 A current limit is the binding constraint for the overload relay's thermal element.
Mounting and panel integration
Size S00 footprint: 97 mm deep, 90 mm wide, 204 mm tall. Mounts vertically on 35 mm DIN rail via the screw-and-snap-on method — no adapter plate needed. The main circuit uses spring-loaded terminals, so you land solid or ferruled stranded wire without torquing screws. Clearance requirements: 50 mm above, 32 mm in front, 10 mm at the sides and below. Backwards clearance is zero — the unit sits flush against the backplane.
Environmental and compliance basics
Operates from -20 to +60 °C; stores and ships from -50 to +80 °C. The 24 V DC coil is standard for control panels with 24 VDC power supplies. Operating frequency is 50/60 Hz. The overload release is thermal bimetallic with a magnetic short-circuit trip — no electronic adjustment, so the trip curve is fixed and repeatable.
