SIRIUS S00 power contactor — 3RT1015-2AP62
The Siemens 3RT1015-2AP62 is a SIRIUS power contactor in the compact Size S00 frame, rated for motor switching at 3 kW in AC-2 duty at 400 V and 6.5 A in AC-4 duty at 400 V. Spring-loaded terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded — no ferrule crimping needed for the wireman, just strip and insert. Side-by-side mounting is allowed, but the 6 mm spacing to adjacent devices must be respected for heat dissipation.
Motor duty and coordination
AC-4 duty (plugging, inching) is 6.5 A at 400 V, which is the current limit for frequent reversing or jogging. Type 2 coordination requires a gL/gG fuse of 20 A; Type 1 coordination allows a 35 A fuse.
Panel integration
The 45 mm width leaves room for a motor starter or overload relay alongside on the same rail. Spring-loaded terminals: strip 8 mm, insert, done. The IP20 finger-safe front and terminal covers are standard for enclosed panels; no extra shrouding needed inside a gland-plate cabinet.
