SIRIUS 3RT26 capacitor contactors
Siemens SIRIUS 3RT26 capacitor contactors
For capacitive loads according to AC-6b – reactive power compensation up to 100 kvar.
Capacitors draw very high current peaks when switched on. The 3RT26 contactors therefore have integrated leading contacts with damping resistors that pre-charge the capacitor before the main contacts close. This protects contacts and supply system and is a prerequisite for the high switching frequency in compensation systems.

Product benefits
- Proven SIRIUS 3RT range from Siemens – available worldwide and maintained over decades
- Consistent modular system: auxiliary switches, surge suppressors and link modules fit across sizes
- Screw or spring-loaded terminals – spring-loaded saves assembly time and is vibration-proof
- Versions with electronic operating mechanism reduce holding power and work over a wide voltage range
- Approvals to IEC and UL/CSA, so the same plant can be operated in Europe and North America
