Product details

The Siemens 3RT1647-1AB01 is a capacitor contactor from the SIRIUS family, sized S3, designed specifically for switching capacitor banks. It's rated AC-6 at 50 kVAr / 400 V — that's the duty class for capacitor loads, where inrush current can hit tens of times the rated current. The 24 V, 50 Hz coil keeps it in the standard control-voltage range for many industrial panels. Three main poles, one normally open auxiliary contact, and screw terminals for both main and control wiring.

Side-by-side mounting is allowed, which saves rail space in a multi-bank capacitor setup.

Protection class is IP00 on the terminals, IP20 on the front with the cover or box terminal fitted. That means it's not a washdown part — it belongs inside a panel with a door, not out in the grease and dust of a lube route.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RT1647-1AB01?

The 3RT1647-1AB01 is sourced through independent distribution and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the AC-6 rating on 3RT1647-1AB01?

It's rated 50 kVAr at 400 V in AC-6 duty, which is the standard category for capacitor switching contactors. That rating accounts for the high inrush current when energizing a capacitor bank.

Will 3RT1647-1AB01 drop into a panel specified around 3RT1044-1FB46?

Both are S3 frame size and mount on 35 mm DIN rail, so the footprint and rail clip are the same. But the 3RT1044-1FB46 is a general-purpose power contactor, not a capacitor-duty model — the 3RT1647-1AB01 has a different coil voltage (24 VAC vs 24 VDC) and a different duty rating. Check the control voltage and capacitor switching requirements before swapping.
