Integrator's note: 3RT1015-1BD41
It switches motor loads up to 4 kW at 690 V AC-3, or 3.5 kW at 500 V. The coil draws 3.3 W both closing and holding, so the control transformer can be sized for a continuous 3.3 W load per contactor.
Side-by-side mounting is permitted with 6 mm spacing to adjacent devices, which keeps the gland plate fill factor manageable. Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) stranded, up to 2x 4 mm² max. AWG equivalents are 2x (20 to 16) solid, 2x (18 to 14) stranded, or 1x 12.
Ratings and coordination
For AC-2 duty at 400 V, the contactor is rated at 3 kW; for AC-4 at 400 V, it handles 6.5 A. The auxiliary contact block includes one normally-open instantaneous contact.
