Frequently asked questions

What is the coil voltage of Siemens 3RT1056-6AR36?

Coil compatibility with control circuit determines whether the MPN can be used in a given panel without an interposing relay.

How much power can 3RT1056-6AR36 handle at 400V?

Drives sizing decisions — confirming 90 kW / AC-3e 185 A rating at 400 V matches motor FLA before purchase.

What are the auxiliary contacts on the 3RT1056-6AR36?

Interface to PLC/control logic requires knowing 2 NO + 2 NC availability and wiring terminal type (screw).

Is the 3RT1056-6AR36 suitable for DC operation?

Main and control circuit DC capability affects applicability in DC-bus or UPS-fed systems.

What is the difference between 3RT1056-6AR36 and 3RT1056-6AF36?

Close MPNs typically vary in coil voltage; buyers must avoid mis-specification when sourcing replacements.

Where is the 3RT1056-6AR36 datasheet PDF?

Engineers and buyers need the official Siemens datasheet for certification, dimensional drawing, and approvals.
