The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1016-1AK62 is a size S00 power contactor, rated for switching motor loads up to 5.5 kW at 690 V and 4.5 kW at 500 V. At 24 V it carries 10 A, and at 230 V it carries 6 A.
For standard AC-3 motor starting, the rated power at 400 V is 4 kW. Wire termination uses screw-type terminals for both main and auxiliary circuits, accepting solid or stranded conductors from 0.5 to 4 mm² (AWG 20 to 12). The front and terminal areas carry IP20 protection — safe for finger contact inside a closed panel.
Panel integration and coordination
Side-by-side mounting is permitted, so multiple contactors can be ganged without spacing. For Type 2 coordination (no-weld protection), the required upstream fuse is 20 A gL/gG; for Type 1 coordination (allow weld), a 35 A gL/gG fuse is specified.
