The Siemens 3RT2026-1AP00 is a 3-pole SIRIUS 3RT2 contactor rated 25 A (AC-3) / 11 kW at 400 V, 15 hp at 480 V, with a 230 V AC 50 Hz coil and 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary contacts.
The Siemens 3RT2026-1AP00 is a SIRIUS series 3-pole AC contactor rated at 11 kW with a 230 V AC coil and integrated 1NO+1NC auxiliary contact combination. Designed for motor switching in three-phase circuits, it fits standard DIN rail or screw-mounting installations and targets the load ratings common in machine tool and pump applications.
The 3RT2026-1AP00 targets three-phase motor loads up to 11 kW — a range covering conveyor drives, centrifugal pumps, compressors, and HVAC fans. The 230 V AC coil voltage matches single-phase control circuits common in European panel designs, eliminating the need for a separate control-voltage transformer in many installations. The factory-integrated 1NO+1NC auxiliary contact block covers the feedback and interlock wiring without adding a clip-on module, keeping panel assembly straightforward.
