Product details

It is rated 37 kW at 500 V for AC-3 duty, which is the standard category for squirrel-cage motors — so this contactor handles motor starting and running currents up to that power level without welding the main contacts during inrush.

The S3 frame footprint (146 mm height, 70 mm width) fits standard DIN-rail enclosures; its 139 mm depth clears most gland plates and back-panel wiring channels.

Solid wire accepts 2x (0.5…1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75…2.5 mm²), or max 2x (0.75…4 mm²); stranded accepts 2x (10…50 mm²). The range covers both control-circuit pilot wiring and power-circuit cable up to 50 mm² — common for a 37 kW motor feed. The terminal enclosure is IP00 (open), but the front with cover or box terminal achieves IP20, which is finger-safe for panel-side access.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for this contactor?

It is a Size S3 power contactor rated 37 kW at 500 V AC-3 for motor loads. The coil operates at 50/60 Hz with a tolerance band of 0.8…1.1 at 50 Hz and 0.85…1.1 at 60 Hz. Mechanical life is 10 million operations typical.

Will the 3RT1044-1AL20 drop into a panel specified for the 3RT1044-1FB46?

Both are S3-frame SIRIUS contactors with the same mounting footprint (146 x 70 x 139 mm) and screw terminals, so the mechanical fit and wiring are identical. The difference is in the coil voltage and auxiliary contact configuration — verify those against your control circuit before swapping.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The product carries IP20 front protection and is designed for pollution degree 3 environments. Specific RoHS, REACH, UL, or IEC declarations are not listed in this record but are typically available from Siemens upon request for the SIRIUS series.
