3RT2018-1AP01
The Siemens 3RT2018-1AP01 features a 230V AC coil design, allowing it to be powered directly from the main power supply without the need for a separate 24V control power supply. It has a built-in set of normally open auxiliary contacts, AC-3 16A/7.5kW, an S00 frame, and an overall size of only 45×58×73mm.
The 3RT2018-1AP01 is the AC version of the SIRIUS 3RT2018 series with a coil voltage of 230V AC and 50/60Hz dual-frequency compatibility. It features a built-in normally open instantaneous auxiliary contact for status feedback or interlocking control. The advantage of this specification is that many older switchboards or single-phase 230V control circuits no longer require a separate 24V DC power supply to directly drive the contactor coil, reducing switchboard costs and wiring complexity. The main circuit maintains the AC-3 7.5kW/400V, 16A rating, with a mechanical life of 30 million cycles and an electrical life of approximately 200,000 cycles under AC-4, 5.5A/400V conditions. It is suitable for applications involving frequent start-stop motors such as small pumps, fans, and conveyor belts.
