Product details

Its headline rating is 37 kW at AC-2 duty class on a 400 V supply — that's the current it can make and break under the moderate overloads typical of slip-ring motors or wound-rotor drives, where the inrush is less severe than AC-3 but still requires a contactor rated for the duty cycle. The AC-4 rating of 66 A at 400 V covers the plugging and inching operations that generate the highest arc energy; if your application includes frequent reversing or jogging, the AC-4 figure is the one that governs contact life, not the AC-2 number.

The size S3 footprint (146 mm high, 70 mm wide, 139 mm deep) fits standard gland-plate layouts; side-by-side mounting is permitted, so you can gang multiple contactors without derating for heat buildup as long as ambient stays within the -25 to +60 °C operating range. Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept 2x (10 to 50 mm²) stranded or 2x (0.25 to 2.5 mm²) solid, which covers most motor feeder cables up to 50 mm² without needing lug adapters.

The front carries IP20 protection with the cover and box terminal fitted; the terminal area itself is IP00, so the panel enclosure must provide the overall ingress protection. Mechanical life is rated at 10,000,000 operating cycles typical, which for a contactor on a conveyor or pump running at 1,000 cycles per hour (AC-3 maximum) translates to roughly 10,000 hours of switching before mechanical wear becomes a factor — the electrical life under load will be shorter and depends on the actual duty class.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT1045-3AP00 and how do I get a price?

The 3RT1045-3AP00 is sourced to order against an RFQ through our independent distribution channel. Submit a request for quote; availability and current pricing will be confirmed at that time.

What is 3RT1045-3AP00's listed depth?

The depth is 139 mm, which combined with the 146 mm height and 70 mm width defines the size S3 footprint for panel layout.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT1045-3AP00?

The part carries a RoHS substance prohibition date of 05/01/2012 and meets EU RoHS and REACH requirements. Siemens provides IEC/EN 60947-4-1 declaration of conformity and CE marking; UL and CSA listings are typical for the SIRIUS series.
