The Siemens 3RT2027-4VB40 is a SIRIUS coupling contactor in size S0, built for switching loads in control panels where you need a compact, DIN-rail-mounted interface between a control circuit and a power circuit. It carries a 27 A rating at both 480 V and 600 V — that's the continuous current it can handle in AC-3 motor duty, so it's sized for moderate motor loads like pumps, small conveyors, or fans up to about 5 hp at 230 V.
Switching ratings and coil
Coil is 24 V DC rated. The magnet coil connection uses a ring cable lug — plan for that termination when wiring. Switching frequency varies by duty: up to 1,000 operations per hour at AC-1 (resistive), 750 ops/h at AC-2 and AC-3 (motor starting and running), and 250 ops/h at AC-4 (plugging/inching). The auxiliary switch is not included — this is a bare contactor.
