Product Description
The Siemens SENTRON 4AC3740-0 is a 40 VA continuous-duty safety transformer providing the two most widely used SELV control voltages — 12 V and 24 V AC — from a single compact unit. It powers switching relays, Insta contactors, and building automation control circuits at the 40 VA level, which covers the majority of multi-relay control panel loads. Compared to the 4AC3724-0 (24 VA), this model delivers nearly double the power in the same 3-module width. Insulation class F construction ensures reliable long-term thermal performance in continuously energized installations.
Key Features
- 40 VA continuous-duty — powers larger relay banks and contactor groups
- Selectable 12 V / 24 V AC output — covers both common SELV control standards
- Insulation class F — enhanced thermal endurance for 24/7 operation
- Built-in PTC auto-reset protection — no maintenance or fuse changes
- Safety class II, 4 kV isolation, EN 61558-2-6 certified
- 3-module (54 mm) DIN rail — space-efficient for the power rating
