Rated 11 kW at 400 V in AC-2 duty (slip-ring motors, reversing starts), it also carries 15.5 A in AC-4 (plugging, inching). The 24 VDC coil draws 5.4 W closing and holding — a single DC supply can keep it sealed without an economizer circuit. Auxiliary contacts switch up to 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V, covering pilot-duty and PLC interface needs.
Screw terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (1 to 2.5 mm²) stranded or 2x (2.5 to 6 mm²) solid, max 2x 10 mm² — enough for the 11 kW motor feed without a separate terminal block. Auxiliary terminals take 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), max 2x 4 mm². IP20 on the front protects against finger contact; the terminals themselves are IP00, so the panel enclosure must provide the overall IP rating.
Protection and coordination
The 3RT1026-1BD40 also carries an AC-12 rating of 10 A for resistive loads.
