Product details

Part identity and deployment context

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RA2317-8XB30-1AK6 is a factory-assembled reversing contactor assembly in frame size S00, rated for 5.5 kW motor switching at 400 V AC-3 duty. It ships with two 3RT2017-1AK62 contactors pre-wired for mechanical and electrical interlocking, eliminating the need for field assembly of the reversing pair.

The 5.5 kW rating at 400 V AC-3 defines the maximum three-phase induction motor load this reversing contactor can switch under standard starting conditions. At 460/480 V the assembly is rated 7.5 hp, and at 575/600 V it is rated 10 hp, per the datasheet. The main current circuit uses screw-type terminals, accepting solid conductors up to 2x 4 mm² or stranded up to 2x 2.5 mm², which covers common motor feeder cable sizes. Mechanical shock resistance is specified at 11.4 g for 5 ms and 7.3 g for 10 ms on both AC and DC axes, indicating robustness for applications with vibration.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for 3RA2317-8XB30-1AK6?

The 3RT6017-1AF01 is a similar SIRIUS contactor but is a standalone unit, not a factory-assembled reversing pair. The 3RA2317-8XB30-1AK6 includes pre-wired mechanical interlocking that a field-assembled pair of 3RT6017-1AF01 units would require additional hardware to replicate.

What are the key dimensions of 3RA2317-8XB30-1AK6?

Width 90 mm, depth 73 mm, height 68 mm.

What conductor sizes does the screw terminal accept?

Solid conductors: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), and 2x 4 mm². Stranded: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) and 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²).

Will 3RA2317-8XB30-1AK6 drop into a panel specified around 3RT6017-1AF01 without rewiring?

No. The 3RA2317-8XB30-1AK6 is a reversing assembly with pre-wired interlocking; a panel designed for standalone 3RT6017-1AF01 units would need rewiring to accommodate the assembly's fixed wiring and different terminal layout.

Where can I buy 3RA2317-8XB30-1AK6?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
