Product details

At 230 V it's rated 15 hp, so it covers a common three-phase motor range in North American panels. The screw-type coil terminals are a field-serviceable detail: you can swap the coil on site with a headlamp and a screwdriver, no shop bench needed.

The depth is 152 mm — that's the dimension that matters when you're laying out gland plates or door clearance. Width is 70 mm, height 140 mm.

Wiring terminals

Main circuit terminals accept solid conductors 2.5 to 16 mm² or stranded 6 to 70 mm² — that's a wide clamping range that covers most motor feeder cables without adapters. Auxiliary switch terminals take 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) solid/stranded or 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²). The screw-type coil terminals are standard across the SIRIUS line, so a panel-builder can keep the same screwdriver bit for the whole cabinet.

Switching performance and mechanical life

Rated for 10 million mechanical operations typical. Switching frequency at AC-3 is 1,000 cycles per hour; at AC-1 (resistive) it's 900 cycles per hour; AC-4 (plugging/inching) is 300 cycles per hour. Arcing time is 10 to 20 ms at 50 Hz. The 0.38 value at 50 Hz likely refers to power factor at rated current — a typical motor-load power factor that confirms the AC-3 rating is genuine, not a resistive-only number.

Environmental and auxiliary specs

The auxiliary switch is included. Coil operating current at 24 V is 10 A (likely the contact rating, not the coil draw — verify against your control transformer sizing). At 400 V the auxiliary contacts are rated 3 A.

Frequently asked questions

Will the 3RT2045-1AV00 drop into a panel wired for the 3RT1054-1AB36?

The 3RT2045-1AV00 is a size S3 contactor with a 70 mm width and 152 mm depth, while the 3RT1054-1AB36 is a different frame size. Panel fit depends on the existing mounting hole pattern and DIN rail layout — verify the dimensions before swapping. The 3RT2045-1AV00 mounts on 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 60715, same as the 3RT1054 series, so if the rail is already there, it may fit with clearance adjustments.

What is the depth of the 3RT2045-1AV00?

The depth is 152 mm. Width is 70 mm, height is 140 mm.

What solid conductor range does the 3RT2045-1AV00 accept?

Main circuit terminals accept solid conductors from 2.5 mm² up to 16 mm². Stranded conductors range from 6 mm² up to 70 mm².

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 3RT2045-1AV00?

As a standard SIRIUS catalog item, this contactor carries CE marking for the European market and is designed to meet IEC/EN 60947-4-1. RoHS and REACH compliance declarations are available from Siemens documentation. Specific UL/CSA listings should be confirmed against the nameplate or Siemens technical support for the exact variant.
