Product details

It carries a 37 kW rating at 400 V under AC-2 duty (slip-ring motor start/run) and 66 A under AC-4 (plugging/inching duty), which tells you it's sized for heavy reversing or jogging applications, not just across-the-line starting.

The S3 frame (146 mm high, 70 mm wide, 188 mm deep) is the mid-size in the SIRIUS contactor family, meaning it fits alongside other SIRIUS gear in a coordinated panel layout. Side-by-side mounting is allowed, which saves rail space when grouping multiple contactors.

Ratings in Context

The AC-3 rating (not explicitly listed here, but the S3 frame typically covers 32–45 kW at 400 V) is the one that governs general squirrel-cage motor switching. The AC-4 rating of 66 A at 400 V is the figure that matters for reversing or inching duty — it's higher than the AC-2 kW number because AC-4 is current-based, not power-based. If you're replacing a contactor in a crane or hoist panel where plugging happens, the AC-4 current is the spec to match.

Environmental and Protection

IP20 on the front with the cover or box terminal installed; the terminal area itself is IP00, so it expects enclosure protection for the wiring compartment.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key motor ratings for this contactor?

It is rated 37 kW at 400 V under AC-2 duty and 66 A at 400 V under AC-4 duty, covering slip-ring motor starting and heavy reversing/inching applications.

What is the physical size and mounting method?

Dimensions are 146 mm height, 70 mm width, and 188 mm depth. It mounts via screw or snap-on onto 35 mm or 75 mm standard mounting rail.

What IP rating does it have?

IP20 on the front with the cover or box terminal installed; the terminal area itself is IP00, so it requires enclosure protection for the wiring compartment.

What temperature range can it operate in?

Operating temperature is -25 to +60 °C, with storage from -55 to +80 °C.
