SIRIUS S3 power contactor — panel integration notes
The 70 mm width and 146 mm height footprint is typical for the S3 frame size, with a depth of 139 mm that includes clearance for the box terminal cover. IP20 on the front face with the cover fitted; the terminal area itself is IP00 — expect this in panel builds where the enclosure provides overall ingress protection.
Rated for 50/60 Hz mains. The AC-3 maximum switching frequency of 850 operations per hour sets the realistic duty cycle for motor loads — this is the rating that governs contactor life under typical induction-motor starting, not the higher AC-1 figure. AC-4 maximum at 250 1/h covers plugging and inching duty.
