Product details

For standard motor starting (AC-3 duty), it is rated at 37 kW at 500 V, and 30 kW at 400 V under AC-2 duty for slip-ring motors. The main current circuit uses screw-type terminals, accepting 2x (0.25...2.5 mm²) solid or 2x (10...50 mm²) stranded conductors.

The enclosure front carries an IP20 rating with a cover or box terminal; the terminal area itself is IP00, so the panel design must provide supplementary protection against accidental contact with live conductors.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to the 3RT1044-3AL16?

The 3RT1044-1FB46 is a peer in the same SIRIUS S3 frame size. The key difference is the terminal type: the -3AL16 uses screw terminals, while the -1FB46 uses spring-cage terminals. If your panel design requires screw terminals for the main circuit, the -3AL16 is the direct fit; the -1FB46 would require a terminal adapter or re-termination.

What are the key electrical ratings for the 3RT1044-3AL16?

AC-4 at 400 V: 55 A. AC-3 at 500 V: 37 kW. AC-2 at 400 V: 30 kW. Coil draw at 24 V rated value: 10 A.

What compliance documentation is available for the 3RT1044-3AL16?

RoHS compliance is confirmed with a substance prohibitance date of May 1, 2012. The part carries IP20 protection on the front with cover or box terminal.
