Product details

What the 65 A rating means for motor switching

The 3RT2038-1AD00 is a SIRIUS Size S2 power contactor rated 65 A at 480 V in AC-3 duty — that is the motor-switching current for squirrel-cage motors across the full load range. At AC-3 the contactor handles 500 switching cycles per hour maximum; for AC-4 (plugging/inching) the limit drops to 150 cycles per hour.

DIN rail fit and panel spacing

Clearance to adjacent devices: 10 mm above and below, 10 mm forward, 6 mm to the side.

Frequently asked questions

What is the width and depth of 3RT2038-1AD00?

Width is 55 mm, depth is 130 mm, height is 114 mm.

Can 3RT2038-1AD00 replace 6ES7517-3FP00-0AB0 in a panel?

No — 6ES7517-3FP00-0AB0 is a Siemens PLC CPU, not a contactor. The 3RT2038-1AD00 is a power contactor and serves a completely different function in the panel.
