Product details

The 24 VAC coil accepts both 50 Hz and 60 Hz supplies, with a rated control supply voltage of 24 V at 50 Hz and 24 V at 60 Hz.

The headline motor rating is 11 kW at 400 V AC-3 and 11 kW at 690 V AC-3. AC-3 is the standard duty for squirrel-cage induction motors — starting and switching off under load. The 11 kW at 400 V means this contactor handles a typical 15 HP (11 kW) motor on a 400 V three-phase supply. For reversing or plugging duty (AC-4), the rated operating current is 15.5 A at 400 V, which is lower than the AC-3 current — AC-4 involves inrush on every operation and the contactor must be derated accordingly.

Auxiliary contact switching capacity

The built-in auxiliary contacts are rated for 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V. These are DC ratings for the auxiliary circuit — useful for signalling to a PLC or relay. The AC rating at 230 V is 6 A, and at 400 V is 3 A. The 10 A maximum operating current at AC-12 (resistive) confirms the auxiliary contacts can handle control transformer loads without issue.

Short-circuit protection and coordination

For Type 2 coordination (contactor remains fully functional after a fault), the required fuse is 35 A gL/gG. These values matter when designing the upstream protection — a 35 A fuse limits let-through energy enough to keep the contactor reusable after a short circuit.

Physical fit and terminal details

The contactor measures 45 mm wide, 85 mm high, and 91 mm deep — a standard S0 footprint that occupies three 18 mm module positions on a DIN rail. Main circuit terminals accept screw-type connections: 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²), or max. 2x (0.75...4 mm²) for solid wire, and 2x (1...2.5 mm²) or 2x (2.5...6 mm²) for stranded, with a maximum of 2x 10 mm². Auxiliary and control terminals accept 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²) stranded. The front face is rated IP20, the terminal area is IP00 — meaning the terminals are touch-hazardous and must be inside a closed panel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative — 3RT1023-1AL20?

The 3RT1023-1AL20 is a different frame size (S00 vs S0) and uses a different coil voltage (230 VAC). It will not drop into the same panel without rewiring: the S00 frame is physically smaller (22.5 mm wide vs 45 mm), and the coil voltage is incompatible. The 3RT1026-1AC20-ZW97 is the correct S0-frame, 24 VAC version.

What are the main circuit terminal wire sizes?

Solid wire: 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²), max. 2x (0.75...4 mm²). Stranded: 2x (1...2.5 mm²), 2x (2.5...6 mm²), max. 2x 10 mm². AWG equivalents: 2x (16...12), 2x (14...10), 1x 8.

What compliance documentation is available?

The product is a standard Siemens SIRIUS catalog item, which typically carries CE, UL, CSA, and CCC certifications. Specific compliance documentation (RoHS, REACH, IEC) should be available from the manufacturer's technical documentation portal for this order code.
