Connection cross sections 
Connectable cable cross-sections depend on the motor starter's connection system. 
 
Screw connection  3RM1...-1AA.4 
Push-in spring-type terminals  3RM1...-2AA.4 
Hybrid connection method 
Control circuit realized as push-in spring-loaded 
terminal and main circuit as screw terminal 
3RM1...-3AA.4 
The table below contains the suitable conductor cross-sections for the control circuit and 
signaling contacts (= auxiliary contacts) and for the main circuit (= main contacts).
