Siemens SIRIUS 3RW softstarters are a series of electronic devices for smooth start-up: from small, combined with contactors, circuit breakers and SIRIUS overload protection relays to powerful devices designed for currents up to 1214A. Soft-start devices provide a gentle mode for connected engines, reducing the starting torque. The power supply is protected from dangerous peaks by reducing the current consumption during startup.
The choice of the Siemens SIRIUS soft starter device depends on the requirements of the customers. The 3RW30 series SCP is designed for smooth start of three - phase asynchronous electric motors, and the 3RW40 and 3RW44 series softstarters are designed for smooth start and smooth stop.
Applications of Siemens SIRIUS 3RW:
- fans
- construction machines /mixers
- escalators
- air conditioners
- conveyors
- drives
- pumps
- presses
- transporters
- blowers
- compressors and refrigerators
The devices also successfully replace starters with switching from a star to a triangle, for example, on belt conveyors, compressors, grinding machines, saws, textile machines, agitators, etc.
SIRIUS 3RW30 SOFT STARTER DEVICES
Siemens 3RW30 is a series of small-sized digital soft-start devices specially designed for three - phase asynchronous electric motors of small and medium power (1.1-55 kW). Siemens 3RW30 soft start devices are widely used in refrigeration equipment, air conditioners, pump control systems, belt conveyors, etc.and can significantly reduce starting currents and excessive starting torque during the start of the electric motor, providing reliable protection of the electric motor, process mechanisms, as well as the power supply network.
- Unified series for the current range from 3.6 to 106 A with standard sizes S00 (45 mm), S0 (45 mm), S2 (55 mm) and S3 (70 mm).
- Close-up mounting design for use at ambient temperatures up to 60° C without reducing the current (Derating).
- The devices are designed for smooth start of the electric motor (run-out is free)
- Easy adjustment with two potentiometers (acceleration time, initial start voltage).
- Two-phase control throughout the entire acceleration allows you to maintain the current in all three phases at the level of minimum values.
- The absence of peak currents and torques (unlike star–triangle starters), due to the continuous action of voltage.
- Quick connection, each terminal is designed for two wires.
- Significant space and wiring savings compared to star-triangle starters (1 device instead of 3, 3 wires instead of 6).
SIRIUS 3RW40 SOFT STARTERS
Siemens 3RW40 is a series of soft-start devices characterized by the presence of electronic overload protection of the motor (IEC 60947-4-2 standard) and the ability to control the electric current in two phases. Also, these SCP have internal protection, which is assigned to the shunt contact system. The starters are used for smooth stepless start-up of three-phase asynchronous motors with a power of up to 250 kW.
- A wide range of operating currents: 12.5 - 432A, which allows them to be used in most cases.
- Smooth start and smooth stop of the electric motor
- The built-in shunt contact system allows you to reduce power losses during operation.
- A 4-step rotary switch allows you to set the shutdown time in case of overload.
- The built-in overload protection of the motor and the built-in overload protection relay allows you to reduce the number of devices in the electrical cabinet.
- The current limit setting function reliably protects the motor even from a sudden increase in current strength.
- Convenient indication: three LEDs inform about operating modes, possible errors, phase break, no load, unacceptable shutdown time (class of operation), overheating or malfunction of the device.
- Class 10-20

- Built-in shunt contact system to minimize energy loss.
- Various setting options for acceleration parameters, such as starting torque, initial voltage, acceleration time, braking time and other settings in 3 separate parameter sets
- Overclocking detection
- The possibility of installation inside the triangle in order to save the size and cost of equipment
- Various stop modes: free run-out, pump braking with torque control, combined DC braking.
- Solid-state motor overload protection and internal device protection, thermistor motor protection
- Keyboard with menu control, multi-line, backlit graphic display.
- Interface for communication with a personal computer for more fine-tuning of parameters, as well as for managing and displaying information (the beginning of deliveries of the program. collateral: 3rd quarter of 2005)
- Easy adaptation to the motor feeder
- Easy installation and maintenance
- Display of data on operation and malfunctions
- Optional connection to PROFIBUS
