Product details

Siemens 3RT1045-1AL26 SIRIUS Power Contactor — Size S3, 45 kW at 500 V

The Siemens 3RT1045-1AL26 is a SIRIUS power contactor in size S3, rated for 45 kW at 500 V and 21.1 kW at 690 V. Front protection is IP20 with cover or box terminal; the terminal itself is IP00. Pollution degree 3 rated, operating temperature range -25 to +60 °C, storage -55 to +80 °C.

Duty Ratings and Switching Life

The 3RT1045-1AL26 is rated for AC-3 duty at 1 000 operations per hour and AC-4 at 300 operations per hour. AC-1 resistive load maximum is 900 operations per hour. Typical mechanical life is 10 000 000 operations. Coil operating range at 50 Hz is 0.8 to 1.1 times rated voltage, at 60 Hz 0.85 to 1.1.

Auxiliary contacts are rated 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V. Power dissipation at 1000 V is 37 W.

Solid conductors: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), max. 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²). Stranded conductors: 2x (10 to 50 mm²). Solid or stranded: 2x (2.5 to 16 mm²). Dimensions: depth 139 mm, width 90 mm, height 146 mm.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for 3RT1045-1AL26?

The closest functional peer is the 3RT1044-1FB46, which is a size S2 contactor with a lower power rating. The 3RT1045-1AL26 is size S3 and offers higher current capacity (45 kW at 500 V vs. the S2 rating). Panel rewiring would be required due to different terminal sizes and mounting footprint.

Will 3RT1045-1AL26 drop into a panel specified for 3RT1044-1FB46?

No, the 3RT1045-1AL26 is size S3 (146 x 90 x 139 mm) while the 3RT1044-1FB46 is size S2. The larger dimensions and different terminal arrangement mean it will not fit without panel modifications and rewiring.

Where can I buy 3RT1045-1AL26?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
