Product details

It carries a 24 V 50/60 Hz coil, an instantaneous auxiliary contact rated 10 A at 24 V, and delivers 3 kW at 400 V AC-3 or 4 kW at 690 V AC-3. The screw-type terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 4 mm²) conductors, and the contactor mounts via screw or snap-on onto 35 mm DIN rail per EN 50022.

The S00 frame size (45 mm wide, 57.5 mm high, 72 mm deep) is the smallest SIRIUS contactor footprint — it fits tight DIN-rail layouts where panel space is at a premium. The 10 A auxiliary contact at 24 V covers PLC-level signal switching; the 2 A rating at 60 V and 0.3 A at 220 V show it can handle pilot-duty loads across common control voltages. Motor power ratings of 3 kW at 400 V AC-3 and 4 kW at 690 V AC-3 define the maximum three-phase induction motor it can switch under normal starting duty. For AC-4 (plugging/reversing) at 400 V, the current limit drops to 6.5 A — a key derating factor if the application involves frequent inching or reversing. Short-circuit coordination is specified: with type 2 coordination (limited damage to contactor after fault), use a gL/gG fuse rated 20 A; with type 1 coordination (contactor may need replacement), use 35 A. This matters for selectivity studies and fuse sizing in the feeder circuit.

The 3RT1015-1AB01-ZW96 is a general-purpose power contactor for switching three-phase motors up to 4 kW in conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, and small machine tools. It also switches resistive loads (AC-1) up to 10 A, making it suitable for heater banks and lighting contactor panels. The IP20 finger-safe terminals on the front and at the connection side mean it can be installed in open control panels without additional shrouding.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key motor power ratings for the 3RT1015-1AB01-ZW96?

It is rated 3 kW at 400 V AC-3 and 4 kW at 690 V AC-3 for three-phase induction motor switching. For AC-4 duty (reversing/plugging) at 400 V, the current limit is 6.5 A.

What is the coil voltage and frequency for this contactor?

The coil is rated 24 V at both 50 Hz and 60 Hz, with an operating range of 0.8 to 1.1 times rated voltage at 50 Hz and 0.85 to 1.1 at 60 Hz.

What wire sizes does the screw terminal accept?

The main circuit screw terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) solid or stranded conductors. AWG equivalents are 2x (20 to 16), 2x (18 to 14), and 1x 12.

Will the 3RT1015-1AB01-ZW96 drop into a panel designed for the 3RT1016-2AP02?

Both are S00 frame size contactors with the same 45 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so the physical footprint and rail position are identical. The difference is in coil voltage and auxiliary contact configuration — verify the control circuit voltage and aux contact count match your panel wiring before substituting.
