Overview: Siemens 3RT2038-3AG20 Power Contactor
The Siemens 3RT2038-3AG20 is a high-performance, 3-pole SIRIUS 3RT2 Power Contactor designed for switching motors up to 37 kW (at 400 V) and general AC loads. As part of the modular SIRIUS system, this device offers reliable operation, a compact footprint, and a long mechanical service life of 10 million switching cycles.
This specific model features an operational current of 80 A (AC-3e/AC-3), a control supply voltage of 110 V AC (50/60 Hz), and includes an integrated set of auxiliary contacts (1 NO + 1 NC). It is engineered for modern industrial applications, providing flexible connection options with screw terminals for the main circuit and spring-loaded terminals for the control and auxiliary circuits, ensuring a fast, vibration-proof, and maintenance-free connection for the control wiring. The compact Size S2 design makes it a space-efficient solution for motor control applications.
