Switching duty and mechanical endurance
The 3RT2025-2AN24: Rated for 1000 operating cycles per hour in AC-1, AC-2, AC-3, and AC-3e duty, with AC-4 limited to 300 cycles/h — the AC-4 limit reflects the higher electrical wear from inching and plugging applications. Arcing time is specified at 4 to 16 ms (and a tighter 10 to 10 ms band in one test condition), which governs the minimum off-time between switching events and the coordination with upstream short-circuit protection.
Listed as current production — the 3RT2025-2AN24 is an active SIRIUS catalog item, not a phase-out or last-time-buy part.
