The 3RT2544-1AF00 is a Size S3 SIRIUS contactor, 70 mm wide, 140 mm tall, 152 mm deep. Power terminals accept stranded wire: 2x (6…16 mm²), 2x (10…50 mm²), or 1x (10…70 mm²). Auxiliary/coil terminals use screw-type connections for 2x (0.5…1.5 mm²) solid or 2x (0.75…2.5 mm²) stranded. That covers most panel wiring up to 70 mm² on the line side.
Auxiliary contact ratings and duty
The built-in auxiliary switch is rated across common control voltages: 10 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 1 A at 690 V. For DC control circuits, it handles 2 A at 48/60 V, 0.9 A at 125 V, and 0.1 A at 600 V. Maximum switching frequency in AC-1 duty is 900 cycles per hour.
Environmental limits
The coil operates at 50 Hz with a power factor of 0.38. Arcing time is 10…20 ms, and the total operate time (AC) is 11…21 ms.
