Product details

The 1SFA894003R7020: Ramp time is adjustable from 0 to 120 seconds, with initial voltage during start settable between 30% and 70% of line voltage. The step-down special ramp can go from 100% down to 30% — gives you fine control over pump or conveyor soft-start profiles. Built-in electronic overload protection is standard, with a current limit function adjustable from 1.5 to 7× Ie and a starting capacity of 3× Ie for 15 seconds. That means you can set the overload curve to match the motor thermal model without an external relay. Control supply voltage is 100–250 V AC; the separate 24 V DC control circuit powers the logic. Screw terminals on the control circuit accept 1 × 2.5 mm² rigid, with a tightening torque of 0.5 N·m. Main circuit terminals are rated IP10 per IEC 60529 and IEC 60947-1 — that's finger-safe but not washdown-rated. The unit includes run, fault, bypass, and overload signal relays, plus a red fault LED and yellow protection LED for local diagnostics.

Wiring and integration note

Main circuit connecting capacity is 1 × 10 to 95 mm² rigid — sized for 37 A motor feeders. The supply circuit takes 1 × 2.5 mm². Standard FiledBusPlug communication interface is present; no fieldbus module is integrated into the base unit. The switch for inside-delta connection is built in, so you can reconfigure for delta-wound motors without an external contactor kit. Ambient operating temperature range is 0 to +50 °C; the 115% service factor provides headroom for continuous duty at nameplate rating.

Documentation includes a datasheet (1SFC132005C0201) and instruction manual (1SFC132003M0201). The unit carries a 0.5 N·m tightening torque spec for control circuit terminals — worth noting for the IQ/OQ torque verification step if this goes into a validated line.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 1SFA894003R7020 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.

What is the ramp time range on 1SFA894003R7020?

The ramp time is adjustable from 0 to 120 seconds, with initial voltage during start settable between 30% and 70% of line voltage.

What communication interface does the PST37 use?

The unit has a standard FiledBusPlug communication interface, meaning it accepts a fieldbus plug-in module but does not integrate the protocol natively.

What compliance documentation is available for 1SFA894003R7020?

The datasheet (1SFC132005C0201) and instruction manual (1SFC132003M0201) are published. RoHS status is listed as 'no declaration needed'; WEEE category is 5 (small equipment, B2B).
