Product details

Its 24 VDC coil pulls in reliably; the rated operating current at AC-3 duty reaches 30 kW at 500 V, which covers a standard 37 kW 4-pole induction motor on a 400 V line.

At 690 V the same duty drops to 11.4 kW, so if your line runs 690 V you need to check the motor nameplate against that lower ceiling. For resistive loads (AC-1) the mechanical life of 10 million operations is the limiting factor, not the electrical endurance. If your control transformer is marginal on regulation, factor in the 20 to 25 ms closing time and 10 to 15 ms arcing time when coordinating with upstream fuses or a motor-protective breaker.

Solid wire from 0.25 to 2.5 mm² and stranded from 0.75 to 25 mm² — that covers most motor feeder cables up to 6 mm² for a 30 kW load. Side-by-side mounting is allowed, which saves rail space in a multi-contactor group, but remember the thermal derating if you pack them tight at the upper end of the operating range (-25 to +60 °C,).

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT1036-3BB40-ZN88 and get a price?

The part is available to order through independent industrial-automation distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability — stock levels and lead times are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3RT1036-3BB40-ZN88?

The 3RT1044-1FB46 is a larger frame size (S3 vs S2) with a higher AC-3 rating, so it won't drop into the same panel footprint or wiring schedule without changes. The 3RT5034-1BW40 and 3RT5034-1AR60 are from the newer SIRIUS 3RT5 generation with different terminal layouts and coil options — not a direct mechanical swap.

Will 3RT1036-3BB40-ZN88 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1044-1FB46?

No. The 3RT1044-1FB46 is size S3 with a 70 mm width and different mounting hole pattern; the 3RT1036-3BB40-ZN88 is size S2 at 55 mm wide. The DIN rail clip fits the same 35 mm rail, but the panel cutout, terminal positions, and conductor sizing differ.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT1036-3BB40-ZN88?

The part carries a RoHS compliance date of 05/01/2012. Standard Siemens documentation includes a CE declaration of conformity and a UL/CSA file number — request these from the supplier at quote time.
