SIRIUS Size S0 Power Contactor — 34 A at 480 V AC-3
The Siemens 3RT2028-2AH00 is a SIRIUS-brand power contactor in the Size S0 frame, rated 34 A at 480 V for AC-3 motor switching duty. Maximum switching frequency reaches 750 cycles per hour under AC-3 duty and 1 000 cycles per hour under AC-1 resistive load — enough for high-cycle conveyor or pump start applications, though the AC-4 plugging/inching rate drops to 250 ops/h.
The Size S0 footprint is 45 mm wide, 102 mm tall, 97 mm deep — that 97 mm depth is the dimension to watch when laying out gland plates or enclosure depth behind the DIN rail.
Arcing time is 10 to 10 ms under AC conditions — a tight window that keeps arc energy contained within the contactor housing. The main contact configuration is 18-8 (three normally-open power poles plus one normally-open auxiliary). Coil termination uses spring-type terminals, which eliminates screw-clamp maintenance and speeds wiring in high-density panels.
