Overview
The Siemens 3RT1373-6AP36 is a high-performance SIRIUS power contactor designed for switching weak or non-inductive loads (AC-1) up to 400A at 400V. This robust 4-pole contactor is engineered for reliability and versatility, making it ideal for applications like disconnecting loads, power generation plants, and transfer switching. Featuring a wide-range solid-state operating mechanism, it accepts a universal control voltage of 100-250V AC/DC. The unit comes equipped with 2 normally open (NO) and 2 normally closed (NC) auxiliary contacts and offers flexible connection options via connection rails and screw terminals.
Key Features & Benefit
- High Power Handling: Rated for 400A at 400V (AC-1), suitable for demanding industrial applications.
- Universal Control Voltage: The wide-range solid-state operating mechanism operates on 100-250V AC or DC, simplifying inventory and configuration.
- Enhanced Reliability: Built to IEC 60947 standards, ensuring consistent and safe operation.
- Integrated Protection: Features built-in varistor for coil damping, protecting against overvoltage surges.
- Flexible Connectivity: Supports both connection rails and screw terminals for main circuit connections, accommodating various installation needs.
- Comprehensive Auxiliary Contacts: Includes 2 NO and 2 NC auxiliary contacts for versatile control and signaling integration.
- Contact Reliability: Auxiliary contacts are designed for high contact reliability, even at low voltages and currents (≥ 17V, ≥ 1 mA), making them suitable for solid-state circuits.
- Modularity and Compatibility: Mounts with 3RB2 electronic overload relays for motor protection and is part of the extensive SIRIUS modular system.
Function
- Load Switching (AC-1): Efficiently switches 4-pole weak or non-inductive loads.
- Grid Disconnection: Safely disconnects loads or power generation plants from the electrical grid.
- Transfer Switching: Facilitates the transfer between different power sources.
- Control Integration: Auxiliary contacts enable connection to control circuits for signaling and interlocking.
Standards
- IEC 60947-1
- IEC 60947-4-1
- IEC 60947-5-1 (auxiliary switches)
Connection Methods
- Main Circuit: Screw terminals with connecting bars, allowing for cable lugs or flexible/rigid busbars.
- Auxiliary & Control Circuit: Screw terminals.
Protection and Safety
The Siemens 3RT1373-6AP36 requires external short-circuit and overload protection for all connections. For detailed guidance on protection devices, including the use of miniature circuit breakers and power supplies with current-limiting functions, refer to the provided technical documentation and configuration manuals. The integrated varistor provides protection against overvoltage on the control supply voltage.
Application
The 3RT1373-6AP36 contactor is perfectly suited for use in:
- Industrial machinery
- Power distribution systems
- Building automation
- HVAC systems
- Control panels for non-motor loads
Note: For optimal performance, especially in environments with frequency converters, please consult the equipment manual. While the 3RT13 contactors come with built-in coil damping, this can increase break and delay times.
