Product details

The Siemens 3RT1046-3AH00 is a SIRIUS power contactor in the Size S3 frame, rated for 55 kW at 500 V and 80 A in AC-4 duty at 400 V.

Snaps onto 35 mm or 75 mm standard mounting rail — the 75 mm option is less common but saves a rail adapter on heavy-gauge panels. Dimensions are 146 mm high, 70 mm wide, 139 mm deep — the 70 mm width is the S3 standard, so it occupies one slot in a typical 600 mm enclosure grid. IP20 on the front with the cover installed; the terminal area is IP00, meaning the live parts are exposed until the enclosure door is closed.

Duty ratings and thermal limits

AC-1 (resistive) allows 900 operating cycles per hour; AC-3 (motor start) allows 850; AC-4 (reversing/inching) drops to 250.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source for 3RT1046-3AH00?

The 3RT1044-1FB46 is a smaller-frame sibling in the same SIRIUS family, but it will not drop into the same panel without rewiring — the 3RT1046-3AH00 is Size S3 with a 70 mm width and higher AC-4 current rating, while the 3RT1044-1FB46 is a Size S2 frame with different terminal spacing and lower ratings. No direct pin-to-pin substitute exists; the 3RT1046-3AH00 is the higher-capacity part.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RT1046-3AH00?

RoHS compliance is confirmed with a substance prohibition date of 05/01/2012. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60947-1 is specified. The contactor carries the SIRIUS brand and is designed to IEC/EN 60947-4-1 standards for power contactors.
