Motor Ratings and Duty
The 3RT2317-2AB00: Rated for 5.5 kW at AC-3 (400 V) and 4 kW at AC-4 (400 V). The AC-3 figure governs normal motor starting — switching a 5.5 kW induction load on a 400 V line is within the contactor's design envelope.
The coil termination uses spring-type terminals — no screw torque to verify, but the wire must be stripped to the correct length and fully inserted before the cage closes.
The S00 footprint is 45 mm wide, 70 mm high, 73 mm deep — a compact block that fits standard 45 mm-wide DIN-rail slots.
Main current circuit uses spring-loaded terminals, accepting 2x (0.5... 2.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.5... 4 mm²) stranded conductors. Auxiliary contacts also use spring-loaded terminals with the same wire range. The spring-cage design eliminates routine re-torquing but requires a screwdriver to open the cage — no special tooling beyond a standard slot or Pozidriv bit.
