Product details

The 3RT1045-1BD40: The main current circuit uses screw-type terminals, accepting stranded conductors from 2x (10... 50 mm²) and solid conductors in multiple ranges: 2x (0.5... 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75... 2.5 mm²), and max. 2x (0.75... 4 mm²). Auxiliary contacts are rated 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V — these are the switching capacities for control circuits, not the main power path.

Dimensions are 146 mm height, 70 mm width, and 152 mm depth — the depth is the dimension that extends into the enclosure, so a 200 mm deep panel leaves roughly 48 mm behind the contactor for wiring and bending radius. Front protection is IP20 with the cover or box terminal installed; the terminal area itself is IP00.

Maximum switching frequency varies by duty: 900 cycles/hour at AC-1 (resistive), 400 at AC-2, 1000 at AC-3, and 300 at AC-4.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key motor power ratings for this contactor?

The 3RT1045-1BD40 is rated 45 kW at 500 V in AC-3 duty (standard motor starting), 37 kW at 400 V in AC-2 duty (slip-ring motor starting), and 66 A at 400 V in AC-4 duty (jogging/inching). For 690 V applications, the rating is 21.1 kW.

What wire sizes does the screw terminal accept?

The main circuit terminals accept stranded conductors from 2x (10... 50 mm²) and solid conductors in multiple ranges: 2x (0.5... 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75... 2.5 mm²), and max. 2x (0.75... 4 mm²).

What is the physical size and mounting method?

Dimensions are 146 mm height, 70 mm width, and 152 mm depth. It mounts via screw or snap-on onto 35 mm and 75 mm standard mounting rails, and side-by-side mounting is permitted without thermal derating.

What compliance documentation is available?

The contactor is RoHS compliant with a substance prohibition date of May 1, 2012. It carries IP20 front protection with cover/box terminal and is rated for pollution degree 3 environments.
