Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2316-1AP60 Contactor 4-Pole, AC-1, 18A, 220V/240V AC, Screw Terminal Original Brand New

Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2316-1AP60 Contactor – Robust 4-Pole Solution for AC-1 Application

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RT2316-1AP60 is a high-performance 4-pole contactor designed for reliable switching of AC-1 (non-inductive or slightly inductive) loads. Engineered to meet demanding industrial standards, this compact S00 size contactor offers exceptional durability and easy integration into various control system.

Overview

The Siemens 3RT2316-1AP60 contactor is part of the renowned SIRIUS family, known for its reliability, modularity, and ease of use in industrial automation. This specific model, a 3RT23 contactor, is a versatile component for managing non-inductive loads, disconnecting power generation plants from the grid, and transfer switching.

Standard & Protection

This contactor fully complies with international standards, including IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-4-1, and IEC 60947-5-1 (for auxiliary switches).

Device Connection Protection: All connections require appropriate short-circuit and overload protection. Refer to the technical product data sheet for specific guidance on free-standing contactor protection. For device combinations (contactor with overload relay or circuit breaker), consult the Digital and Configuration Manuals for load feeders.

Control Supply Voltage Protection: Adhere to relevant standards for control panel configuration. Consider power supplies with current-limiting functions and select suitable protection devices based on contactor load characteristics (inrush current, switch-on power, holding power).

Overvoltage Protection: 3RT23 contactors can be retrofitted with surge suppressors (RC elements, varistors, diodes) for damping opening surges in the coil. Note that damping may increase contactor break and delay times.

Connection Method

• Main Circuit: Features robust screw terminals, ensuring secure and durable connections for power lines.
• Auxiliary and Control Circuit: Utilizes reliable screw terminals for control wiring.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The 3RT2316-1AP60 contactor fulfills the requirements for environment category A, ensuring reliable operation in various industrial settings. When used with frequency converters, specific configuration notes in the Equipment Manual must be observed.

Contact Reliability of Auxiliary Contact

For switching low voltages (≤ 110 V) and currents (≤ 100 mA), the integrated auxiliary contacts provide high contact reliability, making them ideal for sensitive control circuits and solid-state application.

Motor Protection

While the 3RT2316-1AP60 is primarily for AC-1 loads, it can be combined with Siemens 3RU2 thermal overload relays or 3RB3 electronic overload relays for overload protection if special versions are used for motor-driven loads (AC-3).

Application

The Siemens 3RT2316-1AP60 contactor is ideal for:

• Four-pole switching of weak or non-inductive load (AC-1)
• Disconnecting load or power generation plants from the grid
• Transfer switching
