It is a direct starter design rated for continuous operation per IEC 60947-6-2, so it handles sustained motor loads without derating, provided the ambient stays within -20 to +60 °C during operation. The adjustable Trip Class — selectable between CLASS 10 and CLASS 20 — lets you match the overload curve to the motor's starting profile: CLASS 10 for faster-starting loads like pumps and fans, CLASS 20 for high-inertia loads such as centrifuges or crushers that need a longer acceleration window. IO-Link communication at COM2 (38.4 kBaud) gives the controls integrator access to parameterization, diagnostics, and status data — current draw, thermal utilization, trip counters — without running additional sense wires back to the PLC. ## Mounting and wiring — DIN rail, screw terminals, 45 mm wide Main circuit connections use screw-type terminals accepting 0.5 to 4 mm² solid or stranded, or 2x 0.5 to 2.5 mm² — fine for motor branch circuits up to the rated current. Strip length per the terminal spec keeps the cage from pinching insulation. The 24 V DC coil draws a maximum of 3.4 W under continuous DC excitation; at rated AC in hot operating state the power dissipation is 5.4 W. Three onboard LEDs indicate status — run, overload trip, and fault — which helps a field service tech diagnose a tripped starter without opening the panel door or connecting a handheld.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA6400-1EB42 SIRIUS Compact Starter, 32 A, 53 kA","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RA6400-1EB42 SIRIUS compact starter, 32 A at 400 V AC, 53 kA breaking capacity, adjustable Trip Class 10/20, IO-Link, current lifecycle.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Motor Starters"],"specifications":{"Depth":"165 mm","Solid":"0.5 ... 4 mm², 2x (0.5 ... 2.5 mm²)","Width":"45 mm","at DC":"24 ... 24 V","title":"3RA6400-1EB42","Height":"170 mm","at 400 V":"53 kA","Trip Class":"CLASS 10 and 20 adjustable","Recommended":"vertical, on horizontal standard DIN rail","description":"SIRIUS Compact load feeder DOL starter for IO-Link 690 V 24 V DC 8...32 A IP20 Connection main circuit: Screw terminal Connection control circuit: screw terminal","at DC maximum":"3.4 W","During Storage":"-55 ... +80 °C","number of LEDs":"3","Type Of Voltage":"DC","lifecycle_stage":"current","During Operation":"-20 ... +60 °C","During Transport":"-55 ... +80 °C","Fastening Method":"screw and snap-on mounting","IO-Link protocol":"Yes","Shock Resistance":"a=60 m/s2 (6g) with 10 ms per 3 shocks in all axes","Mounting Position":"any","at DC rated value":"24 V","Product Brand Name":"SIRIUS","Type Of Assignment":"continous operation according to IEC 60947-6-2","Degree Of Pollution":"3","Product Designation":"Compact starter for IO-Link","Vibration Resistance":"f= 4 ... 5.8 Hz, d= 15 mm;
