Product details

Integrator's spec recap

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2038-1AG60 is a size S2 power contactor rated for motor switching at 65 A in AC-3 duty at 480 V — that's the number that governs motor load fit, not the AC-1 resistive rating. At 230 V it carries 15 hp, so it's sized for a 15 hp motor on a 230 V line or roughly a 30 hp motor at 480 V (double-check the NEC table for your voltage). The coil terminals are screw-type, and the main contacts accept 2x (0.75... 2.5 mm²) stranded or solid.

The 55 mm width is the S2 frame footprint — standard for this class. The auxiliary switch is built in (18...1 configuration on main contacts), so no separate add-on block is needed for basic signaling.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AC-3 motor rating of 3RT2038-1AG60?

Rated 65 A at 480 V in AC-3 duty, and 15 hp at 230 V. That 65 A figure at 480 V is the key spec for sizing motor loads.

What mounting clearances does 3RT2038-1AG60 need?

10 mm upwards, forwards, and downwards; 6 mm at the side. These are the minimum air gaps for proper arc quenching and heat dissipation.

Where can I buy 3RT2038-1AG60?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
