Motor power and duty ratings at 60 °C
The 3RT5034-1AB00: At a 60 °C ambient, the contactor handles 18 kW at 230 V, 31 kW at 400 V, and 54 kW at 690 V — these are the real-world motor power ratings for a panel running warm. The AC-3e maximum switching voltage is 690 V, matching the insulation voltage rating.
Maximum switching frequencies vary by duty: 1,200 cycles/hour for AC-1 resistive loads, 1,000 cycles/hour for AC-3 and AC-3e motor starting, and 250 cycles/hour for AC-4 inching or plugging duty. The general AC switching frequency is 5,000 cycles/hour, likely for lightly loaded or no-load operations.
Mounting and wiring flexibility
Side-by-side mounting is permitted.
Auxiliary contact ratings and extension
The contactor supports auxiliary switch extension (product extension auxiliary switch: yes). The built-in auxiliary contacts are rated: 6 A at 24 V, 6 A at 230 V, 3 A at 400 V, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V. The power factor at 50 Hz is 0.42 — a typical value for the contactor coil.
Compliance and substance prohibitance
The part carries a substance prohibitance date of March 1, 2017, aligning with RoHS and REACH compliance requirements.
