SIRIUS S12 power contactor — panel fit and duty
Rated insulation voltage sits at 575 to 600 V, and the main poles accept stranded conductors from 70 up to 240 mm² — sized for motor and resistive loads in a control panel.
Switching frequency and auxiliary contact ratings
Duty-cycle limits: 700 operations per hour at AC-1 (resistive), 500/h at AC-3 and AC-3e (motor starting), 200/h at AC-2, and 130/h at AC-4 (plugging/inching). These are the maximum mechanical switching rates; thermal derating applies above 40 °C ambient. The auxiliary switch is rated 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V and 60 V, and 1 A at 110 V — sufficient for signaling to a PLC input or relay interposing.
