Product details

It carries a 37 kW rating at 400 V under AC-2 duty (slip-ring motors, reversing starts) and a 66 A rating at 400 V under AC-4 duty (plugging, inching).

Side-by-side mounting is permitted (no derating gap required), which helps when you're packing multiple contactors into a tight enclosure. The main circuit uses screw-type terminals; the control circuit accepts 2x (0.25…2.5 mm²) solid or 2x (10…50 mm²) stranded — strip length and ferrule sizing matter here for a reliable connection. IP20 on the front with the cover or box terminal in place; the terminal itself is IP00, so keep the enclosure door closed during operation.

Switching performance

Arcing time runs 10…15 ms; the contactor closes within 10…25 ms at AC. Maximum operating rates: 900 cycles/hour at AC-1, 400 at AC-2, 1000 at AC-3, 300 at AC-4. The AC-4 rate is the limiting factor — if your process cycles faster than 300 per hour with plugging duty, this contactor will overheat.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT1045-3AV00 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the closest functional second-source to 3RT1045-3AV00?

The peer 3RT1044-1FB46 is a similar SIRIUS contactor but in a smaller frame size. The 3RT1045-3AV00 carries higher AC-4 current (66 A vs the peer's lower rating) and uses screw terminals versus spring-cage on some variants. Verify your load current and terminal type before substituting.

What is 3RT1045-3AV00's depth?

The depth is 139 mm.

What compliance documentation does this part carry?

RoHS compliance is indicated with a substance prohibition date of 05/01/2012. The contactor is designed to meet IEC standards for industrial control equipment; specific UL/CSA listings should be verified against the nameplate marking on the unit.
