What it is and what it does
The Siemens 3RT5034-1AH00 is a SIRIUS power contactor in the S2 frame size, designed for switching motor loads in industrial control panels. It is rated for 31 kW at 400 V at 60 °C (AC-3 duty), which means it handles the inrush and running current of a standard three-phase induction motor up to that power level. The contactor uses screw-type terminals for both main and auxiliary circuits, accepting wire sizes up to 2x 16 mm² solid or stranded.
Panel fit and mounting
Mounts on 35 mm DIN rail per DIN EN 50022, with screw and snap-on fastening. The 55 mm width and 115 mm depth fit standard enclosure gland-plate layouts; side-by-side mounting is permitted without derating for the thermal ratings listed. The mounting position allows ±180° rotation on a vertical surface and ±22.5° tilt forward/backward, so panel layout is flexible.
Sourcing and availability
