What this reversing contactor assembly is
The Siemens 3RA2316-8XB37-1DM4 is a SIRIUS reversing contactor assembly — a pre-wired pair of contactors with mechanical interlock for reversing three-phase motor direction without external wiring. It ships with two 3RT2016-1DM47 contactors already installed, saving panel build time.
Motor ratings that matter
At 480 V it carries 7.6 A, and at 600 V it carries 9 A — the current limit shifts with voltage. Horsepower ratings span 2 hp at 200/208 V up to 7.5 hp at 575/600 V, covering common North American and IEC motor frames.
Clearance around the unit: 6 mm upwards, forwards, downwards, and to the side; 0 mm backwards — it sits flush against the backplane.
