At 480 V it carries 32 A; at 400 V the motor power rating is 15 kW. The adjustable trip class (CLASS 10 and 20) lets you match the overload release to the motor start profile — CLASS 10 for fast-starting pumps or fans, CLASS 20 for higher-inertia loads like conveyors that take longer to reach speed. The control circuit is screw-terminated. Two LED indicators show operating status. The control voltage is AC/DC 110–240 V at 50/60 Hz, so it works on either a 120 V or 240 V control transformer without a separate power supply module. ## Environmental and mechanical endurance Rated for pollution degree 3 (industrial environments with conductive dust or condensation) and operates from -20 to +60 °C ambient. It survives storage and transport from -55 to +80 °C. Shock resistance is 6g (60 m/s²) with 10 ms pulses in all axes; vibration resistance covers 4–5.8 Hz at 15 mm amplitude and 5.8–500 Hz at 20 m/s² for 10 cycles — suitable for mounting on a machine frame or in a mobile equipment panel. Power dissipation is 5.2 W AC and 5.8 W DC — negligible for panel heating calculations in a ventilated enclosure, but worth noting if the panel is sealed and densely packed.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA6120-2EP32 SIRIUS Compact Starter, 32 A at 480 V","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RA6120-2EP32 SIRIUS compact starter, direct starter design, 32 A at 480 V, 53 kA SCCR at 400 V, adjustable trip class 10/20, spring terminals.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Motor Starters"],"specifications":{"Depth":"165 mm","Solid":"2x (0.25 ... 1.5 mm²)","Width":"45 mm","at DC":"110 ... 240 V","title":"3RA6120-2EP32","Height":"191 mm","at 400 V":"53 kA","at 50 Hz":"110 ... 240 V","at 60 Hz":"110 ... 240 V","Trip Class":"CLASS 10 and 20 adjustable","Recommended":"vertical, on horizontal standard DIN rail","description":"SIRIUS Compact load feeder DOL starter 690 V 110...240 V AC/DC 50...60 Hz 8...32 A IP20 Connection main circuit: Spring-type terminal Connection auxiliary circuit: Spring-type terminal","1 Rated Value":"50 Hz","2 Rated Value":"60 Hz","at AC maximum":"5.2 W","at DC maximum":"5.8 W","During Storage":"-55 ... +80 °C","number of LEDs":"2","Type Of Voltage":"AC/DC","lifecycle_stage":"current","During Operation":"-20 ... +60 °C","During Transport":"-55 ... +80 °C","Fastening Method":"screw and snap-on mounting","IO-Link protocol":"No","Shock Resistance":"a=60 m/s2 (6g) with 10 ms per 3 shocks in all axes","Mounting Position":"any","at DC rated value":"240 V","Product Brand Name":"SIRIUS","Type Of Assignment":"continous operation according to IEC 60947-6-2","Degree Of Pollution":"3","Product Designation":"compact starter","Vibration Resistance":"f= 4 ... 5.8 Hz, d= 15 mm;
