Product details

The headline motor ratings are 3 kW at 400 V under AC-2 duty — the category for slip-ring motor starting and reversing — and 4 kW at 690 V. For AC-4 switching (plugging, inching, reversing under load), the rated operational current is 6.5 A at 400 V. That's the number that governs contact life in high-duty-cycle reversing applications — not the AC-2 power figure. The main circuit uses spring-loaded terminals, accepting 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG). No screw torque to verify on installation — just strip to 8-10 mm and push in. One normally open instantaneous auxiliary contact is built in, rated 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V. That single aux is enough for a feedback signal to a PLC input or a seal-in circuit, but if you need more than one aux contact, you'll add a side-mount block.

Coordination and protection — what the fusing specs tell you

That's the spec your panel designer needs to match the upstream protection to the contactor's withstand. No conformal coating required inside a standard IP20 panel enclosure.

Environmental limits and mounting

Install inside a panel with at least IP54 enclosure rating if washdown or condensation is a concern. Contact life under full motor current will be lower and depends on the duty category.

The 45 mm width and DIN-rail mounting match the standard panel layout for this class.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative — 3RT1016-2AP02?

The 3RT1016-2AP02 is a higher-rated sibling in the same SIRIUS S00 family. It delivers more motor power (5.5 kW AC-3 at 400 V vs. 3 kW AC-2 for the 3RT1015-2AP61) and uses screw terminals instead of spring-loaded. The 45 mm width and DIN-rail mounting are identical, so it drops into the same panel footprint without rewiring the mounting, but you will need to re-terminate if switching from spring-loaded to screw.

What is the depth of this contactor?

The depth is 73 mm, with a width of 45 mm and height of 60 mm.

What wire sizes does the spring-loaded terminal accept?

The main circuit terminals accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded conductors, or 2x (24 to 14 AWG).

Will 3RT1015-2AP61 drop into a panel designed for 3RT1016-2AP02?

Yes, mechanically. Both are S00 frame size, 45 mm wide, and mount on 35 mm DIN rail. The difference is the terminal type — spring-loaded on the 3RT1015-2AP61 versus screw on the 3RT1016-2AP02 — so you will need to re-terminate the wiring. The footprint and rail position are identical.
