It is a reversing starter, meaning it controls motor direction through two contactors interlocked mechanically and electrically — one for forward, one for reverse, with the link module 3RA1921-1DA00 managing the interlock. The 24 V coil keeps control voltage low for PLC-driven panels or safety circuits. ## Duty ratings and trip coordination The magnetic short-circuit trip handles fault clearing; the overload release is thermal bimetallic, not electronic, so no auxiliary power is needed for the protection function. Maximum operating voltage is 690 V AC-3, with a rated frequency of 50-60 Hz. The 24 V coil is rated for continuous duty; the operating temperature range is -20 to +60 °C, with storage from -50 to +80 °C. At 500 V the rated power is 5.5 kW; at 600 V the current is 9 A. ## Panel layout and wiring constraints Snap-mounted onto DIN rail or screw-mounted with an additional push-in lug. Mounting position is vertical only. Dimensions are 90 mm width, 170 mm height, 97.1 mm depth — fits a standard S00 footprint. Clearance requirements: 20 mm upwards, 10 mm downwards, 9 mm at the side, zero forwards or backwards. Main contact wiring accepts stranded conductors 0.5-4 mm², or two conductors 0.75-2.5 mm². AWG equivalents: 2x (20-16), 2x (18-14), or 2x 12. The degree of pollution is 3, meaning it is rated for conductive pollution environments typical in industrial control panels. ## Lifecycle and sourcing — active, quoted to order The supplied contactor (3RT2016-1BB42) and link module (3RA1921-1DA00) are individually orderable as service spares. If the assembly is damaged, replacing these subcomponents avoids a full starter swap.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA2215-1JA16-2BB4 reversing starter, S00","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RA2215-1JA16-2BB4 non-fused reversing motor starter, size S00, 4 kW at 400 V AC-3, CLASS 10 thermal overload, 24 V coil.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Motor Starters"],"specifications":{"Depth":"97.1 mm","Width":"90 mm","title":"3RA2215-1JA16-2BB4","Height":"170 mm","Upwards":"20 mm","Forwards":"0 mm","Backwards":"0 mm","Downwards":"10 mm","Trip Class":"CLASS 10","At The Side":"9 mm","Rated Value":"24 V","description":"Fuseless motor starter Reversing operation 600VAC Size S00 7-10A 24V DC screw connection For screw mounting Or 35 mm rail-mounting Type of coordination 1 1NO+1NC (MSP) 1NC (per contactor)","During Storage":"-50 ... +80 °C","lifecycle_stage":"current","During Operation":"-20 ... +60 °C","During Transport":"-55 ... +80 °C","Fastening Method":"Snap-mounted to DIN rail or screw-mounted with additional push-in lug","Mounting Position":"vertical","Product Brand Name":"SIRIUS","Type Of Assignment":"1","Degree Of Pollution":"3","Product Designation":"non-fused motor starter 3RA2","Size Of Load Feeder":"S00","at 400 V rated value":"4 000 W","at 480 V rated value":"7.6 A","at 500 V rated value":"5 500 W","at 600 V rated value":"9 A","Design Of The Product":"reversing starter","at 200/208 V rated value":"2 hp","at 220/230 V rated value":"3 hp","at 460/480 V rated value":"5 hp","at 575/600 V rated value":"7.5 hp","Of The Supplied Contactor":"3RT2016-1BB42","For Main Contacts Stranded":"0.5 ... 4 mm², 2x (0.75 ... 2.5 mm²)","Of The Supplied Link Module":"3RA1921-1DA00","Size Of The Circuit-Breaker":"S00","at AC-3 rated value maximum":"690 V","Design Of The Overload Release":"thermal (bimetallic)","Design Of The Switching Contact":"electromechanical","Operating Frequency Rated Value":"50 ... 60 Hz","at AWG cables for main contacts":"2x (20 ... 16), only for contactor 2x (18 ... 14), 2x 12","Design Of The Short-Circuit Trip":"magnetic","Of The Supplied Circuit-Breakers":"3RV2011-1JA15","Product Extension Auxiliary Switch":"Yes","holding power of magnet coil at DC":"4 W","Surge Voltage Resistance Rated Value":"6 kV","Number Of Poles For Main Current Circuit":"3","Product Function Short Circuit Protection":"Yes","number of NC contacts for auxiliary contacts":"2","number of NO contacts for auxiliary contacts":"1","shock resistance according to IEC 60068-2-27":"6g / 11 ms","at 400 V according to IEC 60947-4-1 rated value":"153 000 A","operational current at AC-3 at 400 V rated value":"8.5 A","Type Of Electrical Connection For Main Current Circuit":"screw-type terminals","Mechanical Service Life (Switching Cycles) Of Contactor Typical":"30 000 000","Response Value Current Of Instantaneous Short-Circuit Trip Unit":"130 A","insulation voltage with degree of pollution 3 at AC rated value":"690 V","Adjustable Current Response Value Current Of The Current-Dependent Overload Release":"7 ... 10 A","Connectable Conductor Cross-Section For Main Contacts Finely Stranded With Core End Processing":"0.5 ... 2.5 mm²"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/e6650d3cdd066da4abd8e88b05a53930.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=275462&mlfb=3RA2215-1JA16-2BB4"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the difference between this reversing starter and a non-reversing S00 starter?","answer":"This is a reversing starter — it contains two contactors (forward and reverse) with mechanical and electrical interlock built in via the supplied link module 3RA1921-1DA00.
