SIRIUS S2 power contactor for motor switching
Rated for AC-2 duty at 400 V delivering 22 kW, and AC-4 at 400 V at 41 A, this contactor handles slip-ring motor starting and plugging/reversing applications. At 500 V it delivers 30 kW, and at 690 V it delivers 11.4 kW — the derating reflects the voltage-dependent switching capability of the arc chamber.
Terminals and wiring
Main current circuit terminals are screw-type, accepting solid conductors up to 2x (0.75... 4 mm²) per clamp, or stranded up to 2x (0.75... 25 mm²). The auxiliary circuit accepts 2x (0.5... 1.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.75... 2.5 mm²) stranded. Auxiliary contact ratings span the control voltage range: 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 thermal current limits for the built-in auxiliary contacts, not the main poles.
Substance prohibition compliance date is May 1, 2012, indicating RoHS/REACH conformance from that point.
