Benefit
- Exceptional Reliability for DC Systems: The 125 V DC coil with a wide tolerance (0.7−1.25×Uc) ensures stable switching even with voltage fluctuations, which is common in DC control circuits.
- System Protection: The integrated suppressor diode protects your control system and PLC outputs from voltage spikes generated when the contactor coil is de-energized, increasing component lifespan.
- Fast, Maintenance-Free Wiring: Spring-loaded terminals (also known as spring-cage) offer a quick, secure, and vibration-proof connection, drastically reducing installation time and eliminating the need for periodic screw retightening.
- PLC-Optimized Design: This model is suitable for direct connection to PLC outputs, simplifying control panel design and integration.
- Space Efficiency: The compact S00 frame size allows for high-density mounting in electrical cabinets, saving valuable panel space.
- SIRIUS Modular Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with other Siemens SIRIUS devices (e.g., motor protection circuit breakers, overload relays) for a comprehensive and pre-tested load feeder solution.
Function and Application
The 3RT2017-2KG42 power contactor serves as an electrically operated switch for a main power circuit, typically controlling electric motors, heating systems, lighting circuits, and other resistive or inductive loads.
- Motor Control: Ideal for switching 3-phase motors up to 5.5 kW in standard industrial machinery, pumps, fans, and conveyor systems.
- DC Control Systems: Specifically engineered for use in applications where the control signal is 125 V DC, such as in large industrial plants or specialized mobile equipment.
- Automation Interfacing: The 1 NC (Normally Closed) auxiliary contact provides essential feedback or interlocking functions to the programmable logic controller (PLC) or relay logic.
