Integrator brief
The Siemens 3RT1024-3AF00 is a SIRIUS power contactor in Size S0, rated for motor loads up to 7.5 kW at both 500 V and 690 V. Three normally-open main contacts handle the power path; screw-type terminals accept 2x (0.25...2.5 mm²) solid or stranded, with a maximum of 2x 10 mm² per clamp.
The AC-4 switching current at 400 V is 12.5 A, which governs the contactor's life under severe inrush or plugging duty — the mechanical endurance is 10 million cycles, but electrical life under AC-4 will be lower. For resistive loads (AC-12), the continuous current is 10 A.
The 90 mm depth fits standard 100 mm deep enclosures; the 85 mm height leaves clearance for busbar covers or auxiliary contact blocks.
