Siemens Contactor Relays

October 10, 2019

Contactor relays are switching devices for control and auxiliary circuits and are used for controlling, signaling and locking switching devices and switchgear. The SIRIUS 3RH2 contactor relays come with standard-compliant connection designations and a connection system that saves both time and installation overhead. This makes them particularly suitable for practical applications.

3RH2 contactor relays and size S00 motor contactors are the same size and have an identical design – a significant advantage, particularly with regard to the accessories.

They are designed for AC or DC operation and are available with screw or spring-type terminals. The basic version of the contactor relays is a 4‑pole design which can be extended up to eight poles by means of snap-on auxiliary switch blocks.

Compact Wiring With the LÜTZE MS060 Assembly Profile

Industrial users can make even more efficient use of the space in the control cabinet and produce compact wiring in 20 mm steps. Based on the new 60 mm rail profiles, smaller components, including inverters, transformers and master switches, can be installed without wasting space at the top. The MS060 assembly profile is completely identical with the previously available assembly profiles and can therefore be used very flexibly in the modular LÜTZE wiring systems AirSTREAM and AirSTREAM Compact.
