Motor ratings and switching capacity
The 3RT6017-1BM41: At 60 °C ambient, this contactor switches 7.5 kW at 230 V, 13 kW at 400 V, and 22 kW at 690 V — the 400 V figure is the most common motor rating in European panels. The AC-3 rated voltage maximum is 690 V, matching the insulation voltage rating of 690 V, so the contactor is fully rated for 400 V motor circuits without derating.
Termination and wiring
Minimum conductor size at 40 °C is 4 mm², increasing to 2.5 mm² at 60 °C — this derating reflects the higher ambient temperature reducing the wire's current-carrying capacity.
Substance prohibition date of 05/01/2012 indicates RoHS compliance for the European market.
