SIRIUS S0 Power Contactor, 11 kW AC-2 — Current Production
The 3RT1026-1AN20: Rated at 11 kW in AC-2 duty at 400 V, this contactor handles slip-ring motor loads where starting current is moderate. For AC-4 reversing or inching duty at 400 V, the thermal current rating drops to 15.5 A — a figure that governs the real-world service life under frequent jogging. Verify the control transformer and free-wheel diode polarity before energizing inductive loads downstream.
Short-Circuit Coordination and Wiring
Type 1 coordination (welding allowed but no fire risk) permits a 100 A gL/gG fuse. This lets the panel designer balance protection level against selectivity with downstream motor starters. Main circuit screw terminals accept 2x (1 to 2.5 mm²) solid/stranded, up to 2x 10 mm² max. Auxiliary control terminals take 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) solid, up to 2x 4 mm² max. AWG equivalents are 2x (16 to 12) for mains and 2x (20 to 16) for auxiliaries.
Substance prohibitance (RoHS) compliance date is 01.07.2006, indicating the design meets EU RoHS 1 requirements. Pollution degree 3 rating means the contactor withstands conductive pollution in industrial environments — no additional conformal coating needed for typical panel conditions.
