Siemens 3RT1023-3AK60 SIRIUS Power Contactor — S0 Frame, 24 VDC Coil
It carries a 24 VDC coil rated at 10 A, and is specified for AC-2 duty at 4 kW at 400 V, with an AC-4 rating of 8.5 A at 400 V — the AC-4 figure governs reversing or plugging applications where the contactor makes and breaks stalled rotor current.
Coil and Auxiliary Circuit Ratings
For auxiliary contact switching, the contactor is rated at 60 VDC 2 A, 110 VDC 1 A, and 220 VDC 0.3 A — these values define the DC breaking capability of the built-in auxiliary contacts and should be respected when switching inductive DC loads like relay coils or solenoid valves. AC auxiliary ratings include 230 V at 6 A and 400 V at 3 A. The operating range at 50 Hz and 60 Hz is 0.8 to 1.1 times the rated control supply voltage, which means the coil holds in from about 19.2 V to 26.4 VDC at nominal 24 V.
Short-Circuit Coordination and Terminal Data
The main circuit terminals accept screw-type connections: 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid, 2x (1 to 2.5 mm²) stranded, 2x (2.5 to 6 mm²) stranded, and up to 2x 10 mm² maximum. AWG equivalents are 2x (16 to 12), 2x (14 to 10), and 1x 8.
