The Siemens 3RT2046-1AP00 is a robust power contactor designed to handle high current applications with ease. This contactor is a key component in industrial control systems, offering reliable performance for switching motors and managing power circuits. With a three-pole configuration and three normally open (NO) contacts, it is capable of controlling significant loads up to 95 A and motor power of 45 kW at 400 V in AC-3 usage categories.
Crafted for durability, the 3RT2046-1AP00 boasts an impressive mechanical service life, capable of up to 10 million switching cycles, ensuring longevity and consistent operation in demanding environments. The contactor operates with a control supply voltage of 230 V AC at 50 Hz and features both one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) auxiliary contact for additional flexibility in circuit design.
The device is engineered with user safety in mind, featuring an IP20 protection class on the front, which helps to prevent direct contact with the electrical components. Its shock resistance and ability to withstand a wide range of ambient temperatures from -25°C to +60°C during operation make it a resilient choice for various industrial settings.
Installation is made straightforward with options for screw and snap-on mounting onto a 35 mm standard mounting rail according to DIN EN 60715, allowing for efficient integration into control panels. The contactor's compact dimensions and the ability to mount it side-by-side with other components make it an excellent choice for space-constrained applications.
The Siemens 3RT2046-1AP00 is a testament to Siemens' commitment to quality and reliability, providing a high-performance solution for industrial power management and motor control.
