As part of Siemens’ trusted SIRIUS modular system, the 3MT8170-1AQ27 ensures reliable operation, extended service life, and seamless integration into complex automation systems. Its compact size S8 design with reliable screw terminals makes installation straightforward and maintenance efficient.
Key Function
The Siemens 3MT8170-1AQ27 Contactor primarily functions as an electrically operated switch for a power circuit. Its core functions include:
- Motor Switching: Efficiently controls the start, stop, and reverse (in conjunction with other contactors) of electric motors, particularly under AC-3 utilization categories which involve switching squirrel-cage motors during operation.
- Load Switching: Capable of switching resistive loads, heating elements, and other inductive loads found in industrial machinery.
- Isolation: Provides a clear electrical isolation point for maintenance or safety purposes when de-energized.
- Remote Control: Enables remote or automated control of high-current circuits when paired with appropriate control signals (380 VAC, 50/60 Hz coil voltage).
- Overload Protection Integration: Designed for easy integration with thermal overload relays to provide comprehensive motor protection.
