The Siemens 3RA1324-8XB30-1AL2 is a high-quality reversing contactor combination designed to manage motor operations effectively within industrial settings. This component is part of the S0 size category, ensuring a compact footprint with dimensions of 100mm in width, 86mm in height, and 91mm in depth, allowing for efficient use of space in electrical cabinets.
Engineered for reliability, the contactor operates with a control supply voltage of 230V at both 50Hz and 60Hz, making it versatile for various power networks. It is capable of handling an operating current of 12A at AC-3 400V, with a service power rating of 5.5kW at the same voltage, demonstrating its suitability for controlling small to medium-sized motors.
The unit's auxiliary circuit is designed without normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) contacts per direction of rotation, which simplifies its configuration. Connection to the main power circuit is facilitated through robust screw-type terminals, ensuring secure and stable connections.
Mounting is made easy with options for both screw and snap-on mounting onto a 35mm standard mounting rail according to DIN EN 50022, providing flexibility in installation. The contactor is designed to operate within a wide ambient temperature range of -25°C to +60°C, ensuring consistent performance even in demanding environments.
With a front-facing protection class of IP20, the contactor is safeguarded against solid objects larger than 12mm, but it is not waterproof and should be installed in a manner that protects it from moisture ingress.
The Siemens 3RA1324-8XB30-1AL2 is a robust and efficient solution for reversing motor control, offering consistent performance and reliability for a wide range of industrial applications.
