Product details

It mounts on 35 mm or 75 mm standard DIN rail via screw and snap-on fastening, so it integrates into a standard panel layout without special bracketry.

Rated 45 kW at 500 V in AC-3 duty, this contactor handles the inrush and run current of a standard squirrel-cage motor up to that power — the rating that matters for most conveyor, pump, and fan starts. The AC-2 rating of 37 kW at 400 V covers slip-ring motor applications where the load current stays closer to the run value during switching. For heavy jogging or plugging duty, the AC-4 rating of 66 A at 400 V tells you the thermal capacity under frequent reversing or inching cycles. The main circuit uses screw-type terminals accepting 2x (10... 50 mm²) stranded or 2x (0.25... 2.5 mm²) solid wire — sized for the motor feeder cable typical of a 45 kW load. Front-side protection is IP20 with a cover or box terminal; the terminal body itself is IP00, meaning the panel enclosure provides the environmental seal.

The SIRIUS series typically carries UL, CSA, and CE approvals for global panel builds — verify the specific certification markings on the nameplate for your jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative — 3RT1036-1AB00?

The 3RT1036-1AB00 is a smaller frame size (S2 vs S3) with lower current ratings. It will not drop into a panel specified around the 3RT1045-3AF00 without rewiring and verifying the motor load fits the lower rating. The 3RT1045-3AF00 is the correct size for 45 kW AC-3 loads.

What compliance documentation does this contactor carry?

RoHS compliance is confirmed with a substance prohibition date of 05/01/2012. The SIRIUS series typically holds UL, CSA, and CE certifications; check the nameplate markings for your specific regulatory requirements.
