  • soft start! SIRIUS soft starters are the best solution when direct-on-line or star/delta starting are not suitable for three-phase motors, because mechanical impacts in the machine or voltage dips in the power supply system can often cause problems. A full and comprehensive range of soft starters with intelligent functions offers a softer alternative for almost every application.

High Performance

7.5- 400 HP

SIRIUS 3RW55 & 3RW55 Failsafe soft starters High Performance

Due to its innovative torque control, the 3RW55 can be used to drive up to 1000 hp at 480VAC for inline circuits or 1700 hp at 480VAC for inside-delta circuits. The optional communication module for PROFINET High Feature with 2 ports, facilitates media redundancy in a ring topology. This makes it easier on the user and ensures maximum operating convenience.

 

The 3RW55 Failsafe soft starter features an integrated fail-safe digital input for directly connecting the EMERGENCY STOP, and thus covers SIL 1 STO applications. With their modern hybrid switching technology, the 3RW55 Failsafe soft starters offer efficient switching for long-term, energy-saving use.

 

  • Three-phase controlled for optimal motor start
  • Engineering in the TIA Portal
  • A wide range of bus connections (PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, Modbus)
  • Integrated HMI (Human-Machine-Interface) with colour display
  • Electrical ruggedness
  • For motors with power ratings from 7.5 to 1700 HP
  • Media redundancy for reliable network availability

Media redundancy

One considerable advantage of SIRIUS 3RW55 soft starters is their media redundancy thanks to the new Profinet High Feature communication module and its integrated Ethernet switch. It provides a ring topology in which communication can be maintained via a second port even if the power fails.

EtherNet/IP

SIRIUS 3RW55 soft starter communicates now additionally with EtherNet/IP. This means it is able to communicate with a wide range of process control systems.

Electrical ruggedness

All SIRIUS soft starter have a wide-range voltage versions, so that even if there is a voltage dip, the continued operation of the soft starter, the motor and the application is ensured. This level of electrical ruggedness means that operation is secured even in power supply systems with sporadic voltage dips.

SIRIUS 3RW55 fail-safe soft starter features an integrated fail-safe digital input that directly connects to an E-STOP pushbutton, covering SIL 1 PL c applications. Apply a safety contactor and relay, and you’ll also achieve a SIL 3, PL e rating.
