Integrator note — 3RT1017-1BB42-ZW98
The Siemens 3RT1017-1BB42-ZW98 is a SIRIUS power contactor in size S00, rated for motor switching up to 5.5 kW at 690 V AC-3 duty. The 24 V DC coil pulls 3.3 W closing and holding — no AC hum, no separate rectifier needed. Pick-up voltage is 0.85 x rated (20.4 V), drop-out at 1.1 x rated (26.4 V).
The 45 mm width and 72 mm depth fit standard control-panel spacing. Main circuit terminals 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, plus AWG equivalents 2x (20 to 16), 2x (18 to 14), 1x 12. Screw-type terminals — no special tooling needed.
Switching ratings and coordination
AC-3 motor switching: 5.5 kW at 500 V and 5.5 kW at 690 V. AC-2 at 400 V also rated 5.5 kW. AC-4 at 400 V carries 8.5 A for reversing or inching duty. DC switching ratings: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V — useful for DC motor or resistive loads. Type 1 coordination requires a 35 A gL/gG fuse; Type 2 coordination needs a 20 A gL/gG fuse. Pollution degree 3 suits industrial environments with conductive contamination. IP20 on front and terminals — install inside an enclosure rated for the environment.
