- Standards Compliance: Meets international standards, including AC-3e/AC-3, ensuring global compatibility and safety.
Function
The Siemens 3RT2016-2BW42 functions as an electromagnetically operated switch. When a 48 V DC voltage is applied to its coil, it generates a magnetic field that pulls the main contacts closed, allowing current to flow to the connected load (e.g., an electric motor). When the voltage is removed, a spring forces the contacts back to their open position, interrupting the power. The integrated 1 NC auxiliary contact changes its state in tandem, opening when the main contacts close, which is useful for interlocking or status signaling in control circuits.
