Product details

It fastens via screw or snap-on mounting onto 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715, with a width of 55 mm and a depth of 130 mm, so it occupies a standard three-module footprint on the rail.

The headline motor-switching rating is 65 A at 480 V under AC-3 duty — that's the current the contactor can make and break across a three-phase induction motor during starting and running. For resistive (AC-1) loads the mechanical life is rated at 10 million operations typical, and the maximum switching rate is 700 cycles per hour. Under AC-3 the maximum rate is 500 cycles per hour; under AC-4 (plugging/reversing) it drops to 150 cycles per hour. The auxiliary contact block (18...1 configuration, normally open and normally closed) carries 10 A at 24 V, 2 A at 48 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V — verify the control voltage against the table before wiring.

The contactor can be mounted in any orientation within +/-180° rotation on a vertical surface, and tilted forward or backward by +/-22.5°. Minimum air gaps: 10 mm upward, 10 mm forward, 6 mm to the side. The operating ambient range is -25 to +60 °C; storage range is -55 to +80 °C. The coil terminals are screw-type, accepting 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AC-3 motor switching rating of 3RT2038-1AR60?

The AC-3 rating is 65 A at 480 V, which is the current the contactor can switch for a standard three-phase induction motor during starting and running duty.
