Siemens 3RT2017-1BB41 SIRIUS Power Contactor 12A AC-3, 24 V DC Coil

The Siemens 3RT2017-1BB41 is a 3-pole SIRIUS power contactor from the 3RT2017 series, rated 12 A in utilisation category AC-3 (22 A in AC-1) and capable of switching three-phase motors up to 7.5 HP at 460 V. Built on the compact S00 frame size at just 45 mm wide with screw terminals and a 24 V DC control coil, it is a workhorse component for motor control centres and packaged equipment supplied across Saudi Arabia by Razz Middle East.

Technical Overview

The 3RT2017-1BB41 belongs to Siemens' fourth-generation SIRIUS 3RT2 modular contactor system, engineered to IEC 60947-4-1. Its silver-alloy main contacts and positively-driven mirror auxiliary contacts deliver high electrical endurance and reliable interlocking. The 24 V DC coil draws minimal holding power, and on AC variants an integrated electronic coil economy circuit reduces heat dissipation inside the panel — an important advantage in the high ambient temperatures of Gulf switchrooms. A standardised accessory interface accepts surge suppressors, auxiliary blocks and the matching 3RU2/3RB3 overload relays to form a complete direct-on-line starter without additional wiring.

Performance & Specifications

Rated operational current is 12 A (AC-3, up to 415 V) and 22 A (AC-1), supporting motors to 7.5 HP / approximately 5 kW at 400-460 V. The S00 frame measures 45 mm in width with a unit weight of about 0.33 kg, and the device operates from -25 °C to +60 °C. Rated insulation voltage is 690 V with an IP20 finger-safe terminal design, and mechanical endurance reaches 10 million operating cycles.

Applications in Saudi Arabia

Across the Kingdom the 3RT2017-1BB41 switches motor loads in oil & gas, water and petrochemical plant. Typical deployments include centrifugal pump starters at NWC and SWCC desalination and water-transmission stations, fan and blower control in SABIC and Sipchem petrochemical units in Jubail, conveyor and crusher drives at MAADEN mining and cement operations, and HVAC and utility motors on NEOM and Red Sea Project construction packages. Its 45 mm width allows high-density MCC bucket layouts in Dammam and Riyadh assembly shops, while the 24 V DC coil supports both classic relay logic and PLC-direct control.

Installation & Integration

The 3RT2017-1BB41 mounts on standard 35 mm DIN rail or by screw fixing and integrates directly with the SIRIUS 3RU2 thermal overload relays and 3RV2 motor-protection circuit breakers to form fully coordinated, type-tested direct-on-line and reversing starters. Box terminals accept a wide conductor range for both fine-stranded and solid copper, and the finger-safe IP20 design supports safe live working in crowded motor control centres. Link modules and busbar adapters allow rapid assembly of multi-starter groups, while the standardised front interface accepts auxiliary contact blocks, surge suppressors and timing relays — letting Razz Middle East's customers in Dammam and Jubail build complete, documented motor branch circuits from a single compatible SIRIUS platform.

Standards, Quality & Compliance

Every 3RT2017-1BB41 supplied by Razz Middle East is a genuine Siemens product, manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management and conforming to the relevant IEC 60947 standards with international CE and UL approvals. Sourcing through an authorized channel guarantees correct datecodes, factory documentation and full warranty cover — a critical safeguard on safety-related motor control and protection equipment, where counterfeit components present a real risk to plant and personnel. For ARAMCO, SABIC, MAADEN, NWC and NEOM contractors operating under strict approved-vendor and traceability regimes, this assurance shortens technical and commercial evaluation and keeps projects on schedule. Razz Middle East backs each delivery with selection support, cross-referencing from competitor part numbers and documented lead times.
