Integrator note — 3RT6016-1BM42
Rated for AC-3 and AC-3e duty up to 690 V, with motor output ratings of 7.5 kW at 230 V, 13 kW at 400 V, and 22 kW at 690 V (all at 60 °C ambient). That 60 °C derating curve matters: if your panel ambient runs cooler, you get headroom; if it pushes above 60 °C, you need to downrate further per the thermal curve. Coil draws 6 A at 24 V rated value, 1 A at 110 V, and 0.3 A at 220 V — verify your control transformer sizing against the inrush, especially on long cable runs where voltage drop at pickup can cause chatter.
Substance prohibitance compliance date is 05/01/2012, aligning with RoHS and REACH requirements for the European market.
Main circuit terminals accept screw-type connections for 2x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²), or 2x 4 mm² solid/stranded, plus AWG equivalents 2x (20-16), 2x (18-14), 2x 12. Minimum conductor sizes at 40 °C is 4 mm²; at 60 °C it's 2.5 mm² — the higher ambient requires thicker wire to keep terminal temperatures within limits. Dimensions are 73 mm deep, 45 mm wide, 57.5 mm tall — the S00 footprint. The auxiliary switch extension is available (product extension auxiliary switch: yes), so you can add a side-mount block for status feedback without increasing the width beyond the standard 45 mm slot.
Switching frequency & mechanical life
Switching frequency limits: 1,000 1/h at AC-1 (resistive loads), 750 1/h at AC-3 and AC-3e (motor starting), 250 1/h at AC-4 (plugging/inching), and 10,000 1/h at DC.
