Product details

It is rated for 45 kW at 500 V in AC-3 duty, which means it handles the inrush and run currents of a standard squirrel-cage motor up to that power level.

If your application cycles the motor in reverse or jogs frequently, this is the rating that governs contactor life, not the AC-3 figure. The AC-3 maximum switching rate is 1 000 operations per hour, while AC-4 drops to 300 per hour — a real constraint for high-cycle reversing conveyors or hoists. The contactor accepts screw-type terminals on the main circuit, with solid wire up to 2x 2.5 mm² and stranded up to 2x 50 mm². That stranded capacity is generous for a size S3 — it can take a 50 mm² cable on each pole, which is unusual for this frame size and simplifies paralleling for high-current feeds.

Dimensions are 146 mm high, 100 mm wide, 139 mm deep — fits a standard S3 footprint. Side-by-side mounting is permitted, so multiple contactors can pack tightly on the rail without derating for thermal stack-up, as long as the ambient stays within the -25 to +60 °C range.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation is available for this contactor?

The evidence does not list specific compliance documents (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) for this order code. Standard Siemens SIRIUS contactors are typically CE-marked and designed to IEC 60947-4-1, but confirm the exact certification package with the supplier at RFQ time.
