Product details

SIRIUS S3 power contactor, 230 V coil, screw terminals

It is rated for motor loads up to 50 kW at 230 V and 148 kW at 690 V, both at 60 °C ambient, and delivers 22 kW under AC-2 duty at 400 V. Mechanical endurance is rated at 10 000 000 operations typical, with a maximum AC-1 switching rate of 650 cycles per hour.

The 230 V AC coil draws its rated control voltage at 230 V. The auxiliary contact block handles 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, and 3 A at 400 V — these are the switching limits for signaling or interlock circuits, not the main power path. The main poles carry the motor power figures: 50 kW at 230 V and 148 kW at 690 V (both at 60 °C) are the continuous motor-load capacities at those line voltages. The IP20 rating on the front with cover or box terminal means the front face is touch-safe in a typical enclosed panel; the terminal area itself is IP00, so it must be inside a cabinet or shrouded. Conductor sizing: solid wire up to 2x 4 mm² on the control terminals, stranded power wiring from 2x 10 mm² up to 2x 50 mm² (derated to 35 mm² at 60 °C).

Sourcing and integration

The S3 frame size (146 mm height, 70 mm width, 152 mm depth) fits the common DIN-rail footprint for this class.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3RT1446-1BP40 and get a price?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the closest functional second-source to the 3RT1446-1BP40?

The 3RT1044-1FB46 is a smaller S2 frame contactor from the same SIRIUS family. It will not drop into a panel wired for the S3 frame without mechanical and wiring changes — the S3 has larger power terminals and a different mounting footprint. For a direct swap, stay with the S3 frame size.

What is the depth of the 3RT1446-1BP40?

The depth is 152 mm, with a height of 146 mm and width of 70 mm.

What solid wire sizes does the 3RT1446-1BP40 accept?

The control terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) solid, with a maximum of 2x (0.75 to 4 mm²). The main power terminals accept stranded wire from 2x (10 to 50 mm²), derated to 35 mm² at 60 °C.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 3RT1446-1BP40?

RoHS compliance is documented with a substance prohibition date of 05/01/2012. The part carries a rated insulation voltage of 1 000 V and is designed for pollution degree 3 per IEC 60947. Standard Siemens documentation includes the declaration of conformity and the datasheet.
