Overview
The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2045-1KB44-3MA0 is a high-performance, 3-pole power contactor designed for reliable switching of electric motors and general loads up to 80 A (AC-3e/AC-3) and 37 kW at 400 V. Part of the globally recognized SIRIUS 3RT2 series, this robust component features a highly efficient 24 V DC control coil with an extended operating range ().
Crucially, it includes an integrated varistor for coil protection against voltage surges, ensuring maximum reliability and longevity, especially when controlled by sensitive devices. Its captive auxiliary switch block provides a standard configuration of 1 NO + 1 NC contacts, ideal for interlocking and signaling purposes. The compact frame size S3 and secure screw terminals make installation straightforward in various industrial environments.
