Reversing contactor assembly for motor direction control
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RA2315-8XB30-1AK6 is a factory-assembled reversing contactor assembly in Size S00, built around two 3RT2015-1AK62 contactors with a mechanical interlock. The 90 mm width and 68 mm height keep panel layout compact for the S00 frame class.
The assembly also carries horsepower ratings for North American voltages: 1.5 hp at 200/208 V, 2 hp at 220/230 V, 3 hp at 460/480 V, and 5 hp at 575/600 V. The 750 operations per hour maximum at AC-3 means this is sized for moderate cycling, not high-speed reversing applications like servo positioning.
Terminal capacity accepts solid conductors: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm² — sized for motor power wiring up to the 4 kW / 5 hp range. Clearance distances: 6 mm upwards, forwards, downwards, and to the side; 0 mm backwards against the DIN rail. The screw-type coil terminals match the main circuit terminal style, so one tool handles the whole assembly.
