SIRIUS S0 power contactor for motor switching
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1023-1BF40-ZX95 is a size S0 power contactor with a 110 V DC magnet coil, built for switching motor loads in control panels up to 4 kW at 400 V in AC-3 duty. Rated for 4.5 kW at 500 V and 5.5 kW at 690 V, it covers a range of line voltages common in industrial supply systems.
Depth of 101 mm and height of 85 mm leave clearance for wiring duct and adjacent devices. Side-by-side mounting is permitted with 6 mm spacing at the side, which keeps the panel layout tight.
Main current circuit uses screw-type terminals accepting solid conductors 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²). Stranded conductors take 2x (1 to 2.5 mm²), 2x (2.5 to 6 mm²), or max 2x 10 mm². AWG equivalents for main contacts: 2x (16 to 12), 2x (14 to 10), or 1x 8.
Magnet coil draws 5.4 W DC for both closing and holding, so the control transformer and wiring need to support that inrush without voltage sag. Coil operates on 110 V DC; auxiliary contact ratings for DC switching are 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, and 6 A at 230 V.
Protection and coordination
Front protection is IP20 (finger-safe); terminal area is IP00 (requires enclosure protection).
