SIRIUS S12 power contactor — 3RT1075-6NF36
Mounting is by screw fixing, with the contactor positionable on a vertical surface rotatable ±90° or tiltable ±22.5° front-to-back, giving panel builders flexibility in tight enclosures.
The contactor measures 214 mm high, 160 mm wide, and 225 mm deep. These clearances must be maintained for arc-flash containment and cooling. Auxiliary wiring accepts solid or stranded conductors: 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or max 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²) — typical for control-circuit terminations.
Switching performance and duty ratings
Maximum switching frequency varies by duty: 700 operations per hour in AC-1 (resistive), 500/h in AC-3 (motor start/run), 200/h in AC-2, and 130/h in AC-4 (plugging/inching). AC-3e matches AC-3 at 500/h. Arcing time is 10-15 ms. Mechanical life is typically 10,000,000 operations. Auxiliary contact ratings: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V, 2 A at 60 V, and 1 A at 110 V — these are the switching capacities for the built-in auxiliary contacts.
