Siemens 3RT2024-2BE40 Power Contactor 12A, 5.5kW, 60V DC, S0 Original Brand New

Overview

The Siemens 3RT2024-2BE40 is a highly efficient, 3-pole SIRIUS 3RT20 series power contactor designed for switching motors up to $5.5\text{ kW}$ at $400\text{ V}$ (AC-3e/AC-3 rated). This robust component is integral to modern industrial control systems, offering excellent performance within a compact size S0 footprint.

Engineered for reliable operation, it features a $60\text{ V DC}$ operating coil and employs time-saving spring-loaded terminals for a fast, vibration-proof, and maintenance-free connection. With integrated auxiliary contacts of $1\text{ NO}+1\text{ NC}$, it is ready for immediate integration into complex control circuits.

Benefit & Advantages

• Fast, Secure Wiring: Spring-loaded terminals drastically reduce wiring time and ensure a highly reliable, vibration-proof connection, reducing maintenance costs.
• Space-Saving Design: The compact Size S0 allows for high-density installation in control cabinets, optimizing panel space.
• DC Coil Efficiency: The $60\text{ V DC}$ coil is ideal for use in direct current control systems, often offering lower holding power consumption compared to AC coils.
• Integrated Auxiliary Contacts: The built-in $1\text{ NO}+1\text{ NC}$ contacts simplify circuit design and reduce the need for external add-on blocks.
• SIRIUS Modular System: Full compatibility with the extensive SIRIUS modular system accessories (e.g., overload relays, function modules) for flexible and tested load feeder configurations.
• Global Standard Compliance: Approved globally for international applications, ensuring peace of mind for export-oriented machinery or multinational projects.

Function & Application

The Siemens 3RT2024-2BE40 power contactor is primarily used as an electromechanical switching device for:

1. Motor Switching: Starting and stopping 3-phase AC motors (direct-on-line starting).
2. Resistive Loads: Switching non-inductive or lightly inductive loads (AC-1 applications).
3. Basic Control Circuits: As a key component in contactor assemblies, motor starters, and reversing contactor combinations.
4. Industrial Machinery: Used in pumps, conveyors, fans, compressors, and various automated production lines.

Installation and Compatibility

This contactor is designed for quick mounting on a $35\text{ mm}$ DIN rail and is compatible with the entire SIRIUS $3\text{RV}2$ series of Motor Starter Protectors and $3\text{RU}2$ thermal overload relays, facilitating the construction of complete motor feeders.
