The ideal soft starter for Every Application SIRIUS 3RW soft starters are a cost-effective alternative to using direct or wye-delta starters for starting three-phase motors. They avoid undesirable side effects such as mechanical bumps in the machine and mechanics or voltage drops in the main supply. The soft start in control cabinets can be implemented in almost any application in a simple and practical way with our complete soft starter range. Advantages at a Glance. Soft start and soft stop. Smooth starting, without steps. Reduced current peaks.

The STARTER commissioning tool supports you when parameterizing, commissioning, troubleshooting and when service is required. A real highlight: Using STARTER, you can import all of the relevant data from the electronic type plates of the drive components.

Avoidance of line voltage fluctuations during start-up. Reduced load on the power supply system. Reduced mechanical load in the drive.

Considerable space savings and reduced wiring compared to other starters. Maintenance-free switching. Ease of handling. Perfectly matched with SIRIUS devices for the control cabinet. Soft Starters for High-Feature applications (3RW44) Thanks to its outstanding functions, the SIRIUS 3RW44 handles difficult start-up and deceleration processes in a simple and, above all, gentle manner. With its innovative torque control system, it can be used for drives with a power output up to 710 kW at 400 V – respectively 950 hp at 460 V – in an inline circuit or up to 1200 kW at 400 V – respectively 1700 hp at 460 V – in an inside-delta circuit.

Designed for simple handling, the functions are exceptionally easy to use. SIRIUS 3RW soft starters can be used in all sectors worldwide where soft starting without speed control is required. Advantages at a Glance. Optimum acceleration due to torque control. Simple and fast commissioning thanks to user-friendly display. Savings in size and costs due to optional inside-delta circuit. Simple integration in higher-level control units via PROFIBUS SIRIUS soft starters now speak PROFINET:.

Line and ring bus topology thanks to an integrated switch. Media redundancy through MRP- Thanks to the redundant design, plant and machine availability are considerably enhanced. This is because the failure of individual devices no longer influences communication. Interval function and measured values for energy management via PROFIenergy. NTP-synchronized time. Module replacement without PC.

Comprehensive diagnostics and error alarms. OPC UA server function for open communication with visualization and control systems. Soft Starters for standard applications (3RW30) Belt slip on heater blowers or a sudden buildup of water pressure in washing installations are only two of the many problems that can occur when motors generate too much power on starting. With the SIRIUS 3RW30 from 1.5 kW to 55 kW (at 400 V) you can easily avoid such problems. And the best of it all is: It is also possible to switch straight from direct to soft start because SIRIUS 3RW30 is the only soft starter in the world that offers identical sizes in a family of devices.

Advantages at a glance. Soft start. Stepless starting. Uniform connection system with screw or spring- loaded terminals.

Space-saving clear cabinet design thanks to its small and compact construction. Integral bypass. Reduction of current peaks. Relief of the power supply network. Reduction of the mechanical load in the drive. Simple and fast startup and maintenance.

Soft Starters for standard applications (3RW40) SIRIUS 3RW40 is the star among our standard soft starters. Thanks to its innovative control method, it is not just the only 2-phase-controlled soft starter in the world for use in the power range up to 250 kW (at 400V) – respectively 300 hp (at 460V) – because of its especially compact design, it ensures a space-saving, clear layout in the control cabinet. It is therefore more than a mere functionally expanded addition to our 2-phase-controlled series of SIRIUS 3RW30/31 soft starters. The new 3RW40 soft starters in the lower power range from 5.5 - 55 kW (with 400 V) in sizes S0 to S3 expand the performance spectrum of the 3RW40 soft starters. They represent the compact and price-attractive alternative to start-delta starters. Advantages at a glance.

Uniform connecting system with screw or spring-loaded terminals. Space-saving, clear layout in the control cabinet thanks to small, compact design. Integrated bridging (bypass). Inherent protection and protection against motor overload without additional wiring. Optional thermistor motor protection. Avoidance of peak inrush current thanks to adjustable current limitation.

Simple and fast commissioning. Certified according to ATEX standards with sizes S0 - S12. Advantages at a glance. Transmission of current values. Energy management: energy data collected at a higher level. Reduction of load on the power system by avoidance of current peaks. Less heat in the cabinet: - lower power loss than with use of frequency converters - resulting in less cooling and compacter design.

All sizes equipped with a bypass contactor, resulting in lower power loss than conventional soft starters More information about the topic of energy efficiency and PROFIenergy at Siemens:. Simulation Tool for Soft Starters (STS) With the new Simulation Tool for Soft Starters (STS) we are providing a convenient way of designing soft starters using a simple, quick and easy-to-use interface. Entering the motor and load data will simulate the application and prompt suggestions for suitable soft starters. Advantages at a glance. Quick, easy and user-friendly interface. Complete and up-to-date Siemens motor database, including IE3 motors. Update capable (for new soft starters, motors or functions).

Quick simulation with only a few basic inputs. Immediate display of starting curves and diagrams with limit values. Table view of possible soft starters for the given application Text.
