3RT, 3RH, 3TB, 3TC, 3TH, 3TK Contactors for Special Applications
3RT14 Contactors for Switching Resistive Loads (AC-1)
3-pole, 140 ... 690 A

■ Overview
AC and DC operation (size S3) The accessories for the 3RT10 contactors can also be used
here.
UC operation (AC/DC) (sizes S6 to S12)
For more detailed descriptions about the sizes S3 to S12, see
IEC 60947, EN 60947 (VDE 0660) "3RT10 Contactors, 3-pole, 3 to 250 kW."
The contactors are suitable for use in any climate. They are fin-
ger-safe according to EN 50274.
3RT14 contactors are used for switching resistive loads (AC-1)
or as contactors, for example for variable-speed operating
mechanisms that normally only have to carry the current.

The permissible ambient temperature for operation of the con-

tactors (across the full operating range of the solenoid coil) is -
50 to +70 °C. Uninterrupted duty at temperatures < -25 °C and
> +55 °C reduces the mechanical endurance, the current-carry-
ing capacity of the conducting paths and the switching fre-
quency.
At ambient temperatures > 55 °C, a distance of 10 mm must be
observed if contactor relays and size 1 and 2 contactors are
mounted side by side. There is no need to reduce the technical
specifications.
