The Siemens 3RT1017-1AP01-ZW95 is a SIRIUS S00 power contactor rated for 5.5 kW motor switching at 400 V in AC-2 duty, and 8.5 A in AC-4 reversing duty.
Type 2 coordination is achieved with a 20 A gL/gG fuse, which limits fault energy to keep the contactor repairable after a short circuit — important for panels where downtime for replacement is unacceptable. Type 1 coordination allows a 35 A fuse, accepting that the contactor may be destroyed but the circuit is cleared.
The S00 frame size keeps the footprint compact at 45 x 57.5 x 72 mm. Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) solid/stranded. AWG equivalents are 2x (20 to 16), 2x (18 to 14), and 1x 12.
