It carries a 24 VDC coil and is rated for 5.5 kW at AC-2 duty on a 400 V supply, making it a direct fit for moderate motor control applications in industrial automation. Mechanical life is 30,000,000 cycles.
Ratings and Coordination
The 3RT1017-1AP02-ZW96 is rated for AC-2 duty at 5.5 kW at 400 V, covering slip-ring motor loads, and AC-4 duty at 8.5 A at 400 V for plugging and inching applications. For resistive loads (AC-12), the maximum operating current is 10 A. Short-circuit coordination is specified: Type 2 coordination requires a gL/gG fuse rated 20 A, while Type 1 coordination allows a 35 A gL/gG fuse. This lets the panel designer balance protection level against fuse size depending on the downstream load and fault current capability. The main circuit uses screw-type terminals accepting 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or up to 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) solid or stranded conductors, with AWG equivalents of 2x (20 to 16), 2x (18 to 14), and 1x 12.
Integration Notes
Side-by-side mounting permitted with 6 mm clearance. The coil operates at 50/60 Hz with a voltage tolerance of 0.8 to 1.1 at 50 Hz and 0.85 to 1.1 at 60 Hz, ensuring reliable pick-up across typical line variations.
