Product details

SIRIUS S6 power contactor, 160 A across the coil range

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT1055-6AP30 is a size S6 power contactor rated 160 A at coil voltages from 24 V through 220 V — the same current rating holds across the full 24–220 V range, so you don't lose capacity at lower control voltages. Switching rates are duty-dependent: 800 operations/hour in AC-1 resistive loads, 750/h in AC-3 motor starting, and 130/h in AC-4 plugging/reversing. The 10–15 ms arcing time and 40–60 ms operate time (both AC and DC) are typical for this class — expect consistent pick-up and drop-out timing across the control range.

Mounts via screw fixing on a vertical surface, rotatable ±90° and tiltable ±22.5° front-to-back — gives flexibility in tight enclosures. Dimensions are 172 mm high, 120 mm wide, 170 mm deep. The single 9 mm mounting hole is standard for this frame size.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3RT1055-6AP30?

Submit an RFQ with your quantity and target delivery window. Pricing and stock are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels — no automated price or lead-time figure is published here.

What is 3RT1055-6AP30's listed depth?

The depth is 170 mm, with a forward clearance requirement of 20 mm for wiring and arc-chamber ventilation.

What cable sizes does the main power circuit accept?

Stranded cable from 25 mm² up to 120 mm². The coil terminals accept solid or stranded wire: 2x (0.5–1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75–2.5 mm²), or max 2x (0.75–4 mm²).

Will 3RT1055-6AP30 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1055-6QF35 without rewiring?

Both are S6-size SIRIUS contactors with the same 172x120x170 mm footprint and screw-fixing pattern, so the mechanical swap is straightforward. The 6QF35 variant uses a different coil voltage or auxiliary configuration — check the coil rating on your panel schematic before substituting.
