The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1046-1AM20-0UA0 is a Size S3 power contactor rated for motor switching up to 55 kW at 500 V and 25.4 kW at 690 V. Maximum switching frequency varies by duty: 900 cycles/h under AC-1 (resistive), 850 cycles/h under AC-3 (motor starting), and 250 cycles/h under AC-4 (plugging/reversing).
Termination and Wiring
Main circuit terminals accept solid conductors from 0.5 mm² up to 4 mm² (2x per clamp) and stranded conductors from 10 mm² up to 50 mm² (2x per clamp). The auxiliary contact block uses a separate solid-wire range of 0.5 to 4 mm².
