It ships as a complete, pre-wired unit in frame size S00, designed to snap directly into a Siemens ET 200SP distributed I/O system — no separate contactor, overload relay, or reversing interlock wiring needed at the panel. The assembly bundles a 3RC7141-1EE10 communication module, a 3RV2311-1EC20 motor starter protector, and two 3RT2017-2BB42 contactors, all coordinated for reversing duty out of the box. ## Why the ratings matter for fit The 0.4-4 A adjustable current range covers small reversing loads — conveyors, gate drives, small hoists — on 400 V or 690 V line supplies. Type of coordination 2 means the starter protector clears a fault without welding the contactors, so the same unit stays in service after a short-circuit event. Frame size S00 is the compact footprint for the ET 200SP slice; it occupies one mounting slot and communicates over the backplane bus. No separate control wiring for the reversing interlock — the 3RA8 handles that internally. The 690 V AC rating is the maximum operational voltage; for a standard 400 V motor branch, the unit has headroom on the insulation coordination. RoHS compliance effective June 2024; ## What's in the box and how it mounts The unit ships as a single piece (packaging quantity 1) in a box 320 x 240 x 160 mm. It is a standard stock item (product class A) and can be returned within the standard returns window if unopened. Mounting: snap the S00 frame onto the ET 200SP DIN rail, wire the motor branch to the output terminals, and connect the 24 V DC control supply to the bus. The 3RA8 communication module handles the reversing logic over PROFINET or PROFIBUS via the ET 200SP interface.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RA8512-1EE10 SIRIUS reversing starter, 0.4-4 A","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RA8512-1EE10 SIRIUS 3RA8 intelligent load feeder reversing starter, 0.4-4 A, up to 690 V AC, type 2 coordination, for ET 200SP.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Motor Starters"],"specifications":{"Group Code":"R711","Product Group":"X0T4","Product class":"A: Standard product which is a stock item could be returned within the returns guidelines/period.","Quantity Unit":"1 Piece","Product Family":"SIRIUS 3RA8 intelligent load feeders","lifecycle_stage":"current","Packaging Quantity":"1","Export Control Regulations":"AL : N / ECCN : N","Packaging dimensions (L x W x H)":"320.00 x 240.00 x 160.00 mm","Compliance with the substance restrictions according to RoHS directive":"Since: 21-06-24","REACH Art. 33 Duty to inform according to the current list of candidates":"Lead CAS-No. 7439-92-1 > 0,1 % (w / w)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/f37f3929fa6186c9b401f0b5792cf6de.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://sieportal.siemens.com/en-ae/products-services/detail/3RA8512-1EE10?tree=CatalogTree","alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/3RA8512-1EE10/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What components are included in the 3RA8512-1EE10 reversing starter?","answer":"The 3RA8512-1EE10 includes a 3RC7141-1EE10 communication module, a 3RV2311-1EC20 motor starter protector, and two 3RT2017-2BB42 contactors, all pre-assembled and wired for reversing duty."},{"question":"Is 3RA8512-1EE10 compatible with Siemens ET 200SP?","answer":"Yes, the 3RA8512-1EE10 is designed specifically for the ET 200SP distributed I/O system, mounting in frame size S00 and communicating over the backplane bus."},{"question":"Can 3RA8512-1EE10 replace a standard reversing starter assembly?","answer":"Yes, it replaces a discrete reversing starter assembly (two contactors, interlock, motor starter protector, and communication module) in a single pre-wired unit, saving panel space and wiring time.
