Product details

It carries an AC-4 rating of 80 A at 400 V, meaning it handles the severe inrush of reversing, plugging, or inching duty without derating. The AC-2 rating of 45 kW at 400 V covers slip-ring motor starting. Screw-type terminals on the main circuit accept stranded conductors up to 2x (10...50 mm²) and solid conductors in multiple ranges (0.5...4 mm²).

Dimensions: 70 mm wide, 146 mm high, 152 mm deep — fits a standard panel footprint. Side-by-side mounting is permitted, so multiple contactors can be ganged without spacing. IP20 on the front with cover or box terminal; the terminal itself is IP00, so the panel enclosure provides the overall ingress protection. Pollution degree 3 suits industrial environments with conductive pollution.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for 3RT1046-1BE40?

The 3RT1044-1FB46 is a smaller frame (size S2) with lower AC-4 current ratings; it will not drop into the same panel without rewiring and a different mounting footprint. The 3RT5046-1BM40 is a SIRIUS Innovation contactor with electronic coil interface and different control voltage — not a direct form-fit-function swap. The 3RT5045-1AC20 is also a different frame and coil system. For a true drop-in replacement, stick with the same order code.

Where can I buy 3RT1046-1BE40?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
