Product details

It's rated 37 kW at 500 V and 18.6 kW at 690 V under AC-3 duty — the motor-switching curve that matters for most conveyor, pump, and fan applications.

The main circuit uses screw-type terminals; solid wire accepts 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), and stranded goes up to 2x (10 to 50 mm²). That stranded range covers the main power feed for a 37 kW motor at 500 V — no need for lug adapters on the line side.

The AC-3 rating of 37 kW at 500 V is the headline number for motor switching — it tells you this contactor can handle a 37 kW induction motor on a 500 V line without welding contacts during normal starts. The AC-4 rating of 55 A at 400 V is the tougher duty cycle for reversing or jogging; if your application does frequent plugging, that 55 A figure is the one to size against, not the AC-3 kW number.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation is available for 3RT1044-1AB00?

RoHS compliance is confirmed with a substance prohibitance date of May 1, 2012. The contactor carries a degree of pollution 3 rating for industrial environments. For specific UL, CSA, or IEC certificates, request the manufacturer's declaration with your RFQ.

What are the key ratings for this contactor?

AC-3 motor switching: 37 kW at 500 V, 18.6 kW at 690 V. AC-4 inching/plugging: 55 A at 400 V. Coil: 24 V at 50 Hz. Mechanical life: 10 million operations typical. Operating temperature: -25 to +60 °C.

Will 3RT1044-1AB00 drop into a panel specified for 3RT1044-1FB46?

Both are Size S3 SIRIUS contactors with the same 70 mm width and DIN-rail mounting, so the footprint and rail position are identical. The difference is in the coil voltage — the 1AB00 runs on 24 V at 50 Hz, while the 1FB46 uses a different coil. Verify your control voltage before swapping; if it's 24 V, the mechanical fit is direct.
