Product details

Rated for AC-3 duty at 30 kW on 500 V and 11.4 kW on 690 V, this contactor handles the common motor voltage ranges in European and export panels. The 230 V AC coil (rated value 230 V) is a standard control voltage for many industrial zones.

The AC-4 rating (41 A at 400 V) matters for reversing or inching duty where the contactor makes and breaks under full load; the 300 operations per hour maximum in AC-4 reflects the thermal stress of that cycle. For DC switching, the contactor is rated at 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V. These are the make/break currents for DC loads — a critical check if you're switching solenoids or DC brake coils, because DC arcs are harder to extinguish than AC.

The main circuit accepts stranded wire up to 2x (0.75... 25 mm²) and solid wire up to 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²). The auxiliary circuit accepts 2x (0.75... 16 mm²) solid or stranded. The minimum permissible cross-section at 40 °C is 16 mm² — that's the smallest wire you can run at full rated current without exceeding terminal temperature rise. The contactor is rated IP20 on the front (finger-safe) and IP00 at the terminals, so it requires a panel enclosure or additional finger protection at the wiring points.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source to 3RT1036-3BP40?

The 3RT1036-1AB00 is a functional peer in the same size S2 frame, but it uses a different coil voltage and terminal type. The 3RT1036-3BP40 has a 230 V AC coil and screw terminals, while the 1AB00 may differ. Verify the coil voltage and terminal style before substituting.

What wire sizes does the 3RT1036-3BP40 accept?

Main circuit solid: 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²). Main circuit stranded: 2x (0.75... 25 mm²). Auxiliary circuit solid or stranded: 2x (0.75... 16 mm²).

Will 3RT1036-3BP40 drop into a panel specified for 3RT1036-1AB00 without rewiring?

Both are size S2 contactors with the same mounting footprint on 35 mm DIN rail, so the mechanical fit is identical. However, the coil voltage and terminal type may differ — the 3BP40 has a 230 V AC coil and screw terminals. Check that the control circuit voltage matches and that the terminal style is acceptable.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT1036-3BP40?

The part carries a RoHS compliance date of 05/01/2012. The SIRIUS series typically includes CE, UL, CSA, and CCC certifications, though specific marks are not listed in this record.
