Siemens 3TA6800-5M Three-Phase Contactor AC-3

Siemens 3TA6800-5M is a three-pole AC-3 contactor with a 115 V AC coil, built for reliable switching of three-phase motors and other heavy inductive loads in control circuits, and it is designed to operate within standard industrial control panels. As part of Siemens' 3TA contactor lineup, the model enables compact, robust motor control when energized from a 115 VAC control supply, simplifying integration with common control infrastructure. Typical uses include starting and stopping three-phase motors in conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools, where a dedicated motor starter helps manage startup transients and protects circuit integrity across manufacturing lines and process automation. The 3TA6800-5M designation identifies its three-pole configuration and AC-3 duty rating, aligning with established motor control practices in automation environments, and is commonly integrated into control panels and machine assemblies.
