Product Description

Siemens SIRIUS Power Contactor AC-3 12A, 5.5kW, 230V AC, 4-Pole, Size S00 – 3RT2517-1AP00

Product Description

The Siemens 3RT2517-1AP00 is a genuine Siemens SIRIUS 3RT25 Power Contactor designed for reliable switching and control of motors and electrical loads in industrial applications. This 4-pole contactor is rated at 12 A in AC-3 utilization category and supports motor applications up to 5.5 kW at 400 V.

The contactor features a 230 V AC control coil with 50/60 Hz frequency, making it suitable for industrial control panels, motor starters and automation systems where a 230 V AC control supply is available. The device has a Size S00 compact design and uses screw terminals for electrical connections.

The 3RT2517-1AP00 Siemens contactor incorporates 2 normally open (NO) and 2 normally closed (NC) main contacts, providing a 4-pole switching arrangement for suitable electrical circuits. It also supports an auxiliary switch configuration, making it useful for control, interlocking and signaling functions in motor-control applications.

With its compact S00 size, robust construction and reliable switching characteristics, the Siemens 3RT2517-1AP00 is suitable for motor starter panels, industrial automation, MCC panels, machine control systems, pumps, compressors, conveyors, HVAC equipment and OEM control cabinets.

Siemens specifies an insulation voltage of up to 690 V for the main and auxiliary circuits under the stated conditions, with a rated surge withstand capability of 6 kV. The typical mechanical service life of the contactor is specified at up to 30 million switching cycles.

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2517-1AP00 is therefore a practical solution for industrial applications requiring a compact 12 A AC-3, 4-pole contactor with a 230 V AC coil.
