The contactor is rated for AC-3 switching at up to 750 operations per hour, and AC-4 at 250 operations per hour. AC-3 covers starting and running squirrel-cage motors; AC-4 covers inching and plugging duty. If your application involves frequent jogging, the 250 cycles/h ceiling on AC-4 is the limiting figure — not the AC-3 number. Coil consumption is 0.25 A at 50 Hz and 0.28 A at 60 Hz — a small enough draw that a standard 24 VDC power supply can drive multiple contactors without oversizing, but check the inrush if you are ganging several on one output. Wire range accepts solid or stranded conductors from 1 to 10 mm², and also allows two conductors per terminal (2x 0.5…1.5 mm² or 2x 0.75…2.5 mm²). That dual-conductor capability is useful for daisy-chaining control wiring without extra terminal blocks. The auxiliary switch is built in (yes/no: yes), with contact ratings that vary by voltage: 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48/60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 3 A at 400 V, 0.6 A at 440 V. These are the make/break capacities for the auxiliary contacts — useful for PLC inputs or indicator lamps, but not for power switching. The storage range is wider because the contactor is not dissipating coil heat; the operating range is the one that governs panel ambient.

Frequently asked questions
What is 3RT2028-1AN60's listed depth (97 mm) on this component line?
The depth is 97 mm, which is the dimension that matters for gland-plate clearance or enclosure depth behind the DIN rail.
What is 3RT2028-1AN60's listed solid (1... 10 mm²) on this component line?
The wire range accepts solid or stranded conductors from 1 to 10 mm², and also allows two conductors per terminal (2x 0.5…1.5 mm² or 2x 0.75…2.5 mm²).
Will 3RT2028-1AN60 drop into a panel that was specified around 3RT2016-1AG62 without rewiring?
Both are SIRIUS Size S0 contactors on the same 45 mm DIN-rail footprint, so the mechanical fit is identical. The 3RT2028-1AN60 includes an auxiliary switch; the 3RT2016-1AG62 may not. Check the coil voltage and auxiliary contact configuration on your BOM — the terminal layout and wire range are the same, so no rewiring is needed if the coil matches.
What compliance documentation does this brand provide for 3RT2028-1AN60 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?
As a SIRIUS product, Siemens typically provides RoHS, REACH, UL, and IEC declarations. The evidence does not list specific cert numbers, but these are standard for the SIRIUS line and can be requested at quote time.
