Product details

It carries a 37 kW rating at 400 V in AC-3 duty — the standard category for starting and stopping squirrel-cage motors — and 21.1 kW at 690 V. For the more demanding AC-4 duty (plugging, inching, reversing), it is rated 66 A at 400 V.

If your circuit calls for AC-4, the 66 A limit is the one to check against your motor's locked-rotor current. The contactor also carries a mechanical life of 10 million operations typical, which is standard for this frame size in conveyor, pump, and fan duty.

Solid wire sizes range from 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) up to max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) for the control circuit; the main power terminals take stranded wire from 2x (10 to 50 mm²) or solid/stranded 2x (2.5 to 16 mm²). Side-by-side mounting is permitted, which saves rail space when grouping multiple contactors.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key motor ratings for this contactor?

At 400 V AC-3 it is rated 37 kW; at 690 V AC-3 it is 21.1 kW. For AC-4 duty at 400 V, the current rating is 66 A.

What wire sizes does the 3RT1045-1AD00 accept?

Solid control wires: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²). Main power terminals accept stranded 2x (10 to 50 mm²) or solid/stranded 2x (2.5 to 16 mm²).

Does the 3RT1045-1AD00 have RoHS compliance documentation?

Yes, the RoHS compliance date is 05/01/2012, confirming it meets the EU RoHS directive.
