Siemens SIRIUS 3RT5035-1AN20-1 Power Contactor
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT5035-1AN20-1 is a three-pole power contactor rated for AC-3 motor duty at 18.5 kW on a 400 V line, with a 220 V AC 50/60 Hz coil.
What the AC-3 Rating Means for Your Motor Load
The 18.5 kW at 400 V AC-3 rating tells you this contactor is sized for a 3-pole induction motor up to that power — typical for pumps, compressors, and conveyors in a 400 V three-phase distribution. AC-3 covers starting and switching off running motors (high inrush, moderate breaking current). The S2 frame carries a 60 A rated operational current at 40 °C ambient, derating to 55 A at 60 °C, so the thermal margin is there for continuous full-load current plus occasional overloads within the coordination limits.
The screw terminals accept 2x (0.75 to 16 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2x (18 to 2 AWG) — enough for the main power wiring on a 60 A circuit.
