SIRIUS Vacuum Contactor, Size S12 — 3RT1275-6AF36
The Siemens 3RT1275-6AF36 is a SIRIUS vacuum contactor in Size S12, designed for high-cycle motor switching where arc extinction and contact life are critical. Vacuum interrupters handle the arc in a sealed chamber, so the contactor sees minimal contact erosion even under heavy AC-3 or AC-4 duty — rated at 750 operations per hour for AC-3 and 250 ops/hr for AC-4. The coil is wound for 110-127 V AC (50/60 Hz) with a pickup threshold of 0.8 x rated value and a dropout of 0.1 x rated value, giving a clean pull-in margin on a nominal 120 V control circuit.
Fastened via screw fixing through an 11 mm hole — one mounting point. Main circuit wiring accepts stranded conductors from 70 up to 240 mm². The magnet coil uses screw-type terminals; auxiliary switch wiring accepts 2x (0.5-1.5 mm²) solid, 2x (0.75-2.5 mm²) solid, or max 2x (0.75-4 mm²) solid/stranded.
