3RT2916-1GA00

What does this additional load module do?

This unit is a plug-in additional load module designed for use with compatible contactors and contactor relays. Its role is to provide the specified additional load function within the control circuit arrangement, making it a practical accessory for selected S00 devices.

Which devices is this module compatible with?

It is intended for use with Siemens SIRIUS size S00 contactors in the 3RT2.1 range and auxiliary contactors in the 3RH2 range. Before ordering, it is best to confirm the host device family, size and coil voltage requirements match the application.

What control voltage is this accessory designed for?

This version is rated for 180 to 255 V AC at 50/60 Hz. That makes it suitable for applications using higher AC control voltages within that operating range.

Is this suitable for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz systems?

Yes. The module is designed for operation on both 50 Hz and 60 Hz AC systems, provided the control supply voltage remains within the 180 to 255 V AC range.

How is the module mounted?

It uses a clip-on fixing method, allowing it to be fitted directly to the compatible device without complex mounting arrangements. This makes it convenient for panel builders and maintenance teams replacing like-for-like components.

Can it be installed in any mounting position?

Yes. The datasheet states that it can be mounted in any position, which gives greater flexibility when space inside the enclosure is limited.

What are the dimensions of the module?

The unit is compact, with approximate dimensions of 46 mm high, 28 mm wide and 9 mm deep. This slim format helps when adding accessories in tightly arranged control panels.

What temperature range can it operate in?

The stated operating ambient temperature range is -25 °C to +60 °C. For storage, the range is -40 °C to +80 °C.

Is this a compact option for crowded panels?

Yes. Because it is a narrow clip-on accessory for size S00 devices, it is well suited to applications where panel space is at a premium and a low-profile add-on is preferred.

What approvals are listed for this module?

The available datasheet information lists CE, UL and CSA suitability for this item. Depending on document revision, additional approvals may also appear in older literature, but the current commonly referenced data identifies CE, UL and CSA.

Where is this type of accessory commonly used?

Products in this category are commonly used in industrial control panels, machinery starter assemblies and automation systems where compatible contactors or auxiliary contactors require an additional load module as part of the control setup.

How can I check if this is the correct choice for my application?

The key points to verify are device compatibility, size S00 fitment, AC operation, and the required control voltage of 180 to 255 V AC at 50/60 Hz. If those match your assembly, Siemens 3RT2916-1GA00 is likely to be the correct configuration.
