⚡ Key Features
- Reversing duty — mechanical and electrical interlock between the two contactors prevents both from closing simultaneously, which would cause a phase-to-phase short circuit.
- Manufactured to IEC 60947-4-1 / IS 13947-4-1 — complies with the applicable Indian BIS and IEC international standards for this product category.
- BIS certified, CE, cULus (select models) — meets Indian regulatory requirements for use in government, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.
- Genuine authorised Siemens product — sourced directly from the official distribution network with full manufacturer traceability and warranty.
- GST invoice provided for India orders — valid for corporate procurement, government project orders, and public tender supply via myelectric.in.
- Worldwide export available — UAE, Singapore, UK, USA, Sri Lanka & more. Contact +91 94814 00316 for bulk pricing and international shipping.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can multiple 3RT1956-4EA4 contactors be wired for star-delta starting?
A: Yes. Star-delta starters use three contactors: main (KM1), star (KM2), and delta (KM3). The Siemens 3RT series supports mechanical and electrical interlocking accessories that prevent simultaneous energisation of star and delta contactors — critical for safety. Ensure all three contactors are rated correctly for the motor FLC and star-delta transition current.
Q: What is the electrical and mechanical life of the 3RT1956-4EA4?
A: Siemens contactors are rated for millions of operations: typically 10–30 million mechanical operations and 1–3 million electrical operations at rated current and voltage (AC-3 duty). High-frequency switching applications (>10 operations/hour) require checking the specific thermal capacity of the contactor for continuous duty without overheating.
Q: Can the 3RT1956-4EA4 be used for reversing duty (forward/reverse motor control)?
A: Contactors used for reversing must be wired with two contactors interlocked so only one can energise at a time. The Siemens 3RT provides mechanical interlock kits that physically prevent both contactors from closing simultaneously — mandatory for reversing and brake applications to prevent phase-to-phase short circuits.
Q: Which Siemens accessories are compatible with the 3RT1956-4EA4?
A: The Siemens 3RT series supports snap-on accessories including auxiliary contact blocks, coil surge suppressors, mechanical interlocks, and direct-mount overload relays. Accessories are series-specific — always verify compatibility using the Siemens product catalogue before ordering. myelectric.in can advise on the correct accessory part numbers for the 3RT1956-4EA4.
