FURNAS SIEMENS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FURNAS SIEMENS from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between a Furnas Siemens contactor and a switching relay?
A contactor, such as the 3RT2027-1AK60, is designed for switching power loads like motors, heaters, and lighting, with higher current ratings and arc suppression. A switching relay, like the 3TX7114-5LC13, is used for auxiliary control circuits, typically with lower current ratings and for signaling or interlocking purposes. Contactors are built for frequent switching under load, while relays are for logic and control functions.
Are Furnas Siemens auxiliary switches compatible with Siemens SIRIUS contactors?
Yes, the Furnas Siemens auxiliary switch (3RH1921-1CA10) is part of the Siemens SIRIUS modular system and is designed to mount directly onto SIRIUS contactors and other devices. It provides additional contact blocks for signaling or control functions. Compatibility is ensured by the common mounting interface and electrical ratings specified in the product documentation.
What are the typical voltage and current ratings for Furnas Siemens contactors?
The contactor 3RT2027-1AK60 is rated for operational currents up to 40 A at 400 V AC for AC-3 duty (motor switching). For AC-1 duty (resistive loads), the rating may be higher. Coil voltages vary by variant; this model typically uses a 24 V DC or 230 V AC coil. Always verify the specific part number for exact ratings, as variations exist within the product family.
Can Furnas Siemens switching relays be used in HVACR control panels?
Yes, the switching relay 3TX7114-5LC13 is suitable for HVACR applications, such as controlling fans, compressors, or dampers. It is designed for auxiliary circuits in control panels, with a rated operational current typically up to 10 A at 250 V AC. Ensure the relay's coil voltage matches the control system and that the enclosure provides adequate protection (e.g., IP20 for indoor panels).
How do I identify the correct Furnas Siemens replacement part for my existing equipment?
Use the manufacturer part number (e.g., 3RH1921-1CA10) printed on the existing component. Cross-reference with the product type (auxiliary switch, contactor, relay) and electrical specifications (voltage, current, coil type). 3G Electric lists these part numbers for each SKU, allowing direct substitution. If the part number is illegible, consult the equipment manual or contact Siemens support for identification.
Does 3G Electric supply FURNAS SIEMENS products?
