SIRIUS 3RT1026-3AF06 — S0 Power Contactor for Motor Loads
It carries 3 normally-open main contacts and is rated for 11 kW at 500 V under AC-3 duty, which is the standard category for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors during running — the rating that governs real-world motor switching, not the higher resistive-load figure. For the more demanding AC-4 category (plugging, inching, reversing), it is rated at 15.5 A at 400 V, so it handles frequent counter-torque starts within that current envelope. Main circuit connections use screw-type terminals, accepting solid or stranded copper: 2x (1 to 2.5 mm²), 2x (2.5 to 6 mm²), or a single conductor up to 10 mm². AWG equivalents are 2x (16 to 12), 2x (14 to 10), or 1x 8.
Environmental & Installation Limits
The auxiliary contact block (not included in this base unit) has its own ratings: 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V — these are the switching capacities for the control circuit, not the main power path.
