The Siemens 3RT2015-1AP01 is a SIRIUS 3RT2 power contactor designed for reliable switching of three-phase motor and load circuits in industrial control panels. This compact S00-size contactor is rated for AC-3/AC-3e operation at 7 A, providing 3 kW switching capacity at 400 V, and features a 230 V AC 50/60 Hz coil for standard control applications. Its 3-pole main contact arrangement is complemented by one normally open auxiliary contact, making it suitable for integration into motor starters, automation systems and machinery control assemblies. Screw-type terminals and 35 mm DIN rail or screw mounting allow straightforward installation, while the IP20 finger-safe front design and robust mechanical endurance make it well suited to demanding panel environments. The 3RT2015-1AP01 offers a practical balance of compact dimensions, dependable performance and broad electrical ratings for controlling motors, resistive loads and auxiliary circuits.

What type of applications is this contactor designed for?
This power contactor is designed for switching three-phase electrical loads, particularly motor control duties in industrial panels. It is rated for AC-3 and AC-3e motor applications up to 3 kW at 400 V.
What is the rated control coil voltage?
The contactor uses a 230 V AC control coil suitable for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz supplies. The coil terminals are marked A1 and A2.
How many main contacts does it have?
It has three normally open main contacts, making it suitable for switching three-phase circuits.
Does it include an auxiliary contact?
Yes. The 3RT2015-1AP01 includes one normally open instantaneous auxiliary contact for signalling or control-circuit use.
What is the AC-3 current rating at 400 V?
The AC-3 operational current rating is 7 A at 400 V, with a corresponding motor power rating of 3 kW.
What is the AC-1 current rating?
For AC-1 duty, the contactor is rated at 18 A up to 690 V at 40 °C ambient temperature, or 16 A up to 690 V at 60 °C ambient temperature.
What physical size is the contactor?
It is a compact S00 size contactor. Its approximate dimensions are 45 mm wide, 58 mm high and 73 mm deep, with a weight of around 0.23 kg.
How is the contactor mounted?
It can be mounted by screws or snapped onto a 35 mm DIN rail. It allows side-by-side mounting with no side spacing required between similar devices.
What type of terminals are fitted?
The main circuit, auxiliary circuit and coil connections all use screw-type terminals.
What conductor sizes can be connected?
For the main and auxiliary terminals, solid or stranded conductors from 0.5 mm² to 4 mm² can be used. Finely stranded conductors with end processing are suitable from 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm².
What ambient operating temperature range is specified?
The contactor is specified for operation from -25 °C to +60 °C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial enclosure environments.
What is the rated insulation voltage?
The rated insulation voltage for both the main and auxiliary circuits is 690 V, with a rated surge voltage resistance of 6 kV.
What degree of front protection is provided?
The front of the device is rated IP20 and is finger-safe for vertical contact from the front, according to IEC 60529.
What motor horsepower ratings are listed for North American applications?
Typical listed ratings include 3 hp at 460/480 V and 5 hp at 575/600 V for three-phase AC motors. For single-phase AC motors, ratings include 0.25 hp at 110/120 V and 0.75 hp at 230 V.
