The Siemens 3RA2435-8XF32-1AG2 is a meticulously engineered contactor assembly designed for star-delta (wye-delta) starting applications. This robust component is rated for AC-3 usage at 37 kW/400 V and is equipped with a control supply voltage of 110 V AC at both 50/60 Hz. It features a three-pole design and is housed in a size S2 frame with screw terminals for secure and reliable connections.
Crafted for durability and longevity, the contactor assembly boasts an impressive mechanical service life, typically offering 10 million operating cycles. It is also designed to withstand challenging environmental conditions, with an operational temperature range of -25 to +60 °C and storage temperature capabilities from -55 to +80 °C. The unit can be installed at altitudes up to 2000 metres above sea level without compromising its performance.
The main current circuit consists of three poles with three normally open (NO) contacts and no normally closed (NC) contacts, supporting an operating voltage up to a maximum of 690 V at AC-3. The operational current at AC-3 is rated at 80 A for 400 V, ensuring it can handle significant power loads.
For added safety and functionality, the contactor assembly includes an integrated electrical and mechanical interlock and three NO + three NC integrated auxiliary contacts. These auxiliary contacts are designed to provide reliable switching with less than one error per 100 million operating cycles, highlighting the unit's exceptional reliability.
The Siemens 3RA2435-8XF32-1AG2 is a testament to Siemens' commitment to quality, reliability, and innovation in automation and control technology. It is an ideal choice for professionals seeking a high-performance solution for motor control applications in industrial settings.
