Rated for 480 V at 60 Hz, it carries 10 A in AC-12 duty (resistive loads) and switches motor loads at 7.5 kW at 500 V or 690 V.
AC-4 at 400 V (12.5 A) is the plugging / inching duty cycle, the toughest thermal test for a contactor; this rating tells you the 3RT1024-3AV60 survives frequent reversals in a conveyor or crane application. The mechanical life of 10 million operations means the coil and armature assembly outlasts most load-side components in a standard control panel. The screw-type terminals accept up to 2x 10 mm² or 1x AWG 8, so it handles common motor feeder cables without splicing.
