SIRIUS S0 power contactor, 34 A at 480 V
The Siemens 3RT2028-1AP04 is a SIRIUS S0-size power contactor rated 34 A at 480 V — the AC-3 motor-switching current that governs the real load it can handle, not the AC-1 resistive figure.
DC switching and operating rates
DC switching ratings are given per voltage: 6 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V and 60 V, 1 A at 110 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, 0.3 A at 220 V, 3 A at 400 V, and 0.6 A at 440 V. These are the DC-1 or DC-3 values — the arc extinction in DC is harder than AC, so the rating drops as voltage rises. For AC motor duty, the maximum operating rate is 750 cycles per hour at AC-3 and AC-2, and 250 cycles per hour at AC-4 (plugging/reversing).
Wiring and clearance
Auxiliary contact terminals accept 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²). That 6 mm side clearance is tight — factor it into your DIN-rail layout if you are packing multiple contactors side by side.
