Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2028-2AV00 — Size S0 Power Contactor, 34 A at 480 V AC-3
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2028-2AV00 is a Size S0 power contactor rated 34 A at 480 V in AC-3 duty — the motor-switching rating that governs real-world load handling, not the higher AC-1 resistive figure. Width is 45 mm, depth 97 mm, height 102 mm — fits standard panel layouts with the 35 mm DIN rail profile per DIN EN 60715.
AC-3 maximum switching rate is 750 operations per hour; AC-4 (plugging / inching) drops to 250 ops/h. The AC-1 resistive rating allows 1 000 ops/h, but that's for heater or lighting loads, not motors. If your cycle rate exceeds these, step up a frame size or add a soft-start.
That 6 mm side gap is the tightest constraint; adjacent components need that breathing room for arc extinction and heat dissipation.
