The S00 frame means it's the smallest contactor body in the SIRIUS family — 45 mm wide, 60 mm tall, 73 mm deep — sized for control cabinets where panel density matters. The coil holds at 24 VDC nominal with a rated operating current of 10 A at that voltage. For higher-voltage auxiliary circuits, the contactor is rated 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V — so it can switch pilot devices or small relays in mixed-voltage panels without a separate interface relay.
For motor duty, the 3RT1015-2AP01-ZW98 is rated 3 kW at 400 V AC-2 (slip-ring motor starting) and 6.5 A at 400 V AC-4 (plugging/reversing duty). The AC-2 figure tells you it handles moderate inrush from wound-rotor motors; the AC-4 figure is the one to watch for frequent jogging or reversing conveyors — 6.5 A at 400 V is the breaking current under those conditions, not the continuous rating.
Coordination and fuse selection
This is the spec the panel designer needs for the short-circuit rating declaration — don't oversize the fuse beyond Type 2 unless you're willing to replace the contactor after a fault. The spring-loaded terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded conductors, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG).
If you're replacing an existing 3RT1015-2AP01-ZW98 in a panel, the spring-loaded terminals match the same footprint as the screw-terminal variants in the S00 family — no rewiring of the DIN rail or busbar arrangement required. The 73 mm depth is the same across the S00 contactor range, so panel layout stays consistent.
