What this contactor is
This is a Siemens SIRIUS S12 power contactor, catalog number 3RT1075-6AP36. It's a screw-fixing contactor that lives in bigger motor control centers — the kind you build when the load is serious. Coil takes 220-240 V AC, and it's rated for switching frequencies that match real motor duty: AC-3 at 500 operations an hour for regular starts, and AC-4 at 130 an hour for the plugging and reversing that eats contacts.
Mounting and wiring
