The main circuit connects through a plug-in interface without terminals — the mating connector is ordered separately. The control circuit accepts solid conductors from 0.25 to 1.5 mm². ## Motor duty and protection The trip class is adjustable between CLASS 10 and CLASS 20, letting you match the overload relay response to the motor's starting profile — CLASS 10 for high-inertia loads that accelerate quickly, CLASS 20 for longer starts like conveyors or crushers. Short-circuit breaking capacity is 53 kA at 400 V — this starter coordinates with upstream fuses or a circuit breaker sized to the SCCR of the panel. The continuous operation rating per IEC 60947-6-2 means it's designed for sustained motor running, not just intermittent jogging. ## IO-Link and diagnostics This is a compact reversing starter with IO-Link communication at COM2 speed (38.4 kBaud). The IO-Link interface carries parameter data, diagnostics, and status back to the controller — five onboard LEDs give local indication of device state, supply voltage, and fault conditions. No AS-Interface protocol support — the communication path is IO-Link only. The 24 V DC control supply is rated for continuous operation, with a typical power dissipation of 3.4 W at DC and 5.4 W in hot operating state at AC. ## Environmental and mechanical endurance Vibration resistance is tested to 20 m/s² at 5.8 to 500 Hz, and shock resistance to 60 m/s² (6 g) for 10 ms pulses — this starter holds its settings and contact alignment in machinery with repetitive impact or conveyor vibration. Operating temperature range is -20 to +60 °C; storage and transport range is -55 to +80 °C. Mechanical life of the main contacts is 10 million operations typical; auxiliary contacts match that figure. The no-load switching frequency is 3,600 cycles per hour — fast enough for cycling applications like indexing tables or shuttle conveyors. No direct functional second-source cross-reference exists between this SIRIUS reversing starter and the listed alternate MPNs (6ES7517-3FP00-0AB0, 6ES7214-1BG40-0XB0, 6AG1215-1BG40-5XB0) — those are Siemens PLC CPUs, not motor starters. Panel rewiring would be required for any substitution across product classes.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA6500-2EB43 SIRIUS Reversing Starter, 32 A","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RA6500-2EB43 SIRIUS reversing starter, 32 A AC-3 at 400 V, 53 kA SCCR, IO-Link COM2.
