Integrator Note — SIRIUS S00 Power Contactor 3RT1017-2AP01
The Siemens 3RT1017-2AP01 is a SIRIUS-branded power contactor in the S00 frame size, rated for motor switching up to 5.5 kW at 400 V in AC-2 duty (slip-ring motors, moderate overloads). The main current circuit uses spring-loaded terminals accepting 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded conductors (24 to 14 AWG), which eliminates routine screw-torque checks during commissioning.
Coordination & Protection Planning
These values govern the upstream protective device selection for audit-trail compliance.
Environmental & Installation Constraints
The contactor is rated IP20 on the front and at the terminals — finger-safe but not protected against moisture ingress, so it requires enclosure in a suitable cabinet for washdown or outdoor locations.
Coil & Auxiliary Contact Data
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. One instantaneous auxiliary contact is integrated — a normally open (NO) configuration per the standard S00 auxiliary block layout. Switching capacity for the auxiliary contact: 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, and 3 A at 400 V. These values cover typical PLC input and relay interface loads.
