The Siemens 3RT1627-1AL21 is a capacitor contactor from the SIRIUS family, rated for AC-6 duty at 25 kVAr / 400 V — meaning it's built specifically for switching capacitor banks in power factor correction (PFC) panels, not general motor loads. The 230 VAC 50/60 Hz coil pulls 64 VA pick-up, 8.4 VA hold, so budget the control transformer accordingly. Three main NO poles handle the capacitor switching; one auxiliary NO contact is on board for status feedback or interlock wiring.
Integration & Panel Fit
IP20 on the front, IP00 at the terminals — the terminals are live when the contactor is installed in an open panel.
