SIRIUS Size S00 Power Contactor, 110 VDC Coil
It carries a 110 VDC coil with an integrated varistor for surge suppression, and its screw-type terminals accept wire sizes from 2x (0.5... 1.5 mm²) solid up to 2x (0.75... 4 mm²) stranded, with a maximum of 2x (0.75... 4 mm²). This contactor is rated for motor switching in AC-2 duty at 5.5 kW at 400 V, and in AC-4 duty at 8.5 A at 400 V. The 45 mm width and 57.5 mm height fit the Size S00 footprint, with a depth of 72 mm.
Switching Capacity and Coordination
The 3RT1017-1KF41's switching capacity varies significantly with the DC coil voltage and load type. At 24 V rated value it switches 10 A, at 60 V rated value 2 A, at 110 V rated value 1 A, and at 220 V rated value 0.3 A — these are the DC-13 (solenoid) ratings for the auxiliary contacts. For the main contacts in AC-1 (resistive) duty, it handles 20 A with gL/gG fuses of 20 A for Type 2 coordination, or 35 A fuses for Type 1 coordination. The AC-3 motor rating is not explicitly listed in this evidence, but the AC-2 and AC-4 ratings provide the motor-switching envelope. The AC-2 rating of 5.5 kW at 400 V covers slip-ring motor starting, while the AC-4 rating of 8.5 A at 400 V covers plugging and inching duty. For standard squirrel-cage motors (AC-3), the 5.5 kW at 500/690 V gives a practical guide for 400 V circuits — expect around 4 kW at 400 V in AC-3, but verify against the motor full-load current.
Integration Notes
Side-by-side mounting is allowed — no spacing required between contactors. The Size S00 frame (45 mm wide) fits standard 45 mm DIN-rail slots. Screw-type terminals for both main and auxiliary circuits accept solid or stranded wire: 2x (0.5... 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75... 2.5 mm²), with a maximum of 2x (0.75... 4 mm²). For AWG, the auxiliary contacts accept 2x (20... 16), 2x (18... 14), or 1x 12 AWG. The integrated varistor on the 110 VDC coil suppresses the inductive kick when de-energizing — no external suppression diode needed. The coil power is a constant 2.3 W DC, so the control transformer only needs to supply that steady load.
