Product details

It's rated for motor switching at 30 kW in AC-2 and AC-3 duty at 400 V, and handles 55 A in AC-4 duty at 400 V — the heavy jogging and inching category that wears contacts fastest.

This is a fast-moving SIRIUS size that MRO storerooms typically keep as a critical spare for 400 V motor circuits up to 30 kW.

Ratings & Fit

The AC-3 rating at 400 V is 30 kW — that's the standard duty for squirrel-cage motors starting and running. Coil circuit operates at 48 V rated value, with a pickup voltage of 0.8 x rated (38.4 V) and a dropout of 1.1 x rated (52.8 V) — standard for control transformers in 48 VDC panels. Terminal capacity: solid conductors accept 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²), stranded accept 2x (10 to 50 mm²) for the main circuit, and 2x (2.5 to 16 mm²) for auxiliary circuits. The 201 mm depth, 70 mm width, and 146 mm height fit the S3 frame footprint — verify panel layout if replacing a different manufacturer's size.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3RT1044-3BW44?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time — this is a standard-production part sourced through Siemens distribution, so lead times are typically aligned with normal factory cycles.

What is 3RT1044-3BW44's listed depth (201 mm) on this component line?

The depth is 201 mm, with a width of 70 mm and height of 146 mm. These are the S3 frame dimensions for panel layout and enclosure sizing.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3RT1044-3BW44 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?

The part carries a substance prohibition date of 05/01/2012, indicating RoHS compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Standard Siemens documentation includes CE declaration of conformity and UL/CSA file numbers available on request.

When sourcing 3RT1044-3BW44, what's the closest functional second-source — 3RT1044-1FB46?

The 3RT1044-1FB46 is a peer in the same SIRIUS S3 frame, but it uses spring-cage terminals instead of screw-type. The 3RT1044-3BW44 uses screw-type terminals on the main current circuit. Both share the same coil voltage and motor power ratings, so a panel originally wired for screw terminals would need a terminal adapter or re-termination to accept the spring-cage variant.
