The individual device for pole changing is not suitable for reversing operation. 
 
Versions 
The entire performance range of 3 to 11 kW/400 V (utilization category AC-3) is covered by 
two sizes, S00 and S0, each with a width of 45 mm. The contactors of sizes S00 and S0 are 
equipped with AC or DC magnet systems.  
Rated powers 
A single size covers several versions with different standard motor ratings. The specified 
power (in kW) refers to the power output at the motor shaft (in accordance with the 
nameplate). The performance range of the 3RT25 4-pole power contactors in size S00 
extends up to 5.5 kW at a voltage of 400 V. In size S0, the maximum power value is 11 kW 
at a voltage of 400 V. All specified rated powers and rated currents refer to an ambient 
temperature of 60 °C.
