SIRIUS S0 power contactor — panel integration brief
The Siemens 3RT1026-3AG16 is a SIRIUS S0-frame power contactor rated for motor switching at 11 kW on 400 V AC-2 duty and 15.5 A on AC-4 (reversing/inching).
Motor duty and coordination
AC-2 at 400 V delivers 11 kW, which covers wound-rotor motor loads where starting current stays moderate. Both are standard fuse classes available from any electrical wholesaler.
The S0 frame size keeps the footprint compact at 65 mm wide × 85 mm tall × 91 mm deep.
Main current circuit uses screw-type terminals accepting 2x (0.25–2.5 mm²) solid, 2x (1–2.5 mm²) or 2x (2.5–6 mm²) stranded, and up to 2x 10 mm². AWG equivalents are 2x (16–12) solid, 2x (14–10) stranded, and 1x 8. Auxiliary contacts: 2 instantaneous, rated 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 0.3 A at 220 V DC. The auxiliary contact ratings cover typical PLC-level signal switching and control relay loads.
