Product details

SIRIUS S3 Power Contactor — Panel Integration Notes

Dimensions are 152 mm deep, 70 mm wide, 140 mm tall. The solid conductor range is 2.5 to 16 mm²; stranded accepts 6 to 70 mm². Auxiliary switch is included, so no separate add-on block is needed for basic status feedback.

Operating Conditions and Clearances

These matter when packing multiple contactors in a row — crowding the air gap reduces heat dissipation and can shorten coil life.

Switching Duty Ratings

Rated for AC-3 maximum 1,000 operating cycles per hour and AC-3e maximum 1,000 cycles per hour, with AC-1 at 900, AC-2 at 400, and AC-4 at 300 cycles per hour. The AC-3 figure governs motor switching duty — the contactor can handle frequent starts and stops on squirrel-cage motors at that rate without overheating. Arcing time is 10 to 20 ms; closing time at AC is 10 to 21 ms.
