SIEMENS SIRIUS 3RW30361BB04 softstarter, 400V, 32A, 15kW, 24V AC/DC sturing

Starting three-phase motors directly across the line causes high inrush currents and mechanical stress. The SIEMENS SIRIUS 3RW30361BB04 soft starter reduces this stress by ramping up the voltage to the motor, providing smooth acceleration and deceleration for standard asynchronous motors.

Who is it for

This soft starter is for panel builders and machine OEMs who need a compact, reliable starting solution for motors up to 15 kW at 400 V. It suits conveyors, pumps, fans, and other applications where reduced starting current and gentle ramp-up are required.

Main features

• Voltage ramp-up starting method with adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down times from 0 to 20 seconds.
• Integrated bypass contactor reduces heat generation and allows continuous operation after start.
• Rated operational current of 32 A and rated power of 15 kW at 400 V.
• Wide operating voltage range from 200 to 480 V AC, 3-phase.
• Control supply voltage of 24 V AC/DC for flexible integration.
• Compact size S0 with screw terminals and DIN rail or screw mounting.
• Ambient operating temperature range from -25 to +60 °C (derating above 40 °C).
