Siemens 3RT1066-6AU36 — SIRIUS Size S10 Power Contactor
It is screw-fixed to the mounting surface, not DIN-rail snapped — plan for a dedicated backplate or sub-panel with four 11 mm holes on a 145 mm × 210 mm footprint. The magnet coil uses screw-type terminals, and the main power circuit accepts stranded cable from 70 mm² up to 240 mm² — sized for high-current feeds typical of 200+ A motor branches. Auxiliary contacts are included, with a 24 V rated switching capacity of 10 A.
Duty Cycles and Switching Frequency
This contactor's maximum switching rate depends on the utilization category: 750 operations per hour in AC-1 (resistive), 500 in AC-3 (squirrel-cage motor starting), 250 in AC-2 (slip-ring motor), and 130 in AC-4 (plugging/inching). For AC-3e applications the rate matches AC-3 at 500 ops/h.
