S2 Frame, 65 A AC-3 Motor Switching
The Siemens 3RT2037-1AC20 is a SIRIUS S2 power contactor rated for 65 A at 480 V in AC-3 duty, meaning it handles motor switching loads up to that current — typical for a 30–40 kW motor at 480 V depending on the exact FLA. The 24 V 50 Hz coil draws 0.36 A at 50 Hz and 0.39 A at 60 Hz.
The envelope is 130 mm deep, 55 mm wide, 114 mm high.
Switching Performance and Auxiliaries
Maximum switching rates: 800 cycles/h in AC-1 (resistive), 700/h in AC-3 (motor), 400/h in AC-2, 200/h in AC-4 (plugging/inching). Arcing time is 10–20 ms, and the contactor includes an auxiliary switch block with 1 N/O + 1 N/C configuration. The main contact screw terminals accept 2x (0.5–1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75–2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire.
