Maximum operating frequency is 80 operations per hour — this is a duty-cycle limit for the electromechanical contactor and bimetal reset time, not a switching frequency ceiling. ## Lifecycle and compliance — active production, clean paperwork Substance prohibitance compliance is dated 05/01/2012, aligning with RoHS and REACH requirements for the European market. The reference code per IEC 81346-2 is Q, classifying it as a switching device in the functional plant hierarchy.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RK4340-3MR51-0BA0 SIRIUS Motor Starter, 8 A AC-3","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RK4340-3MR51-0BA0 motor starter, I/O controlled direct starter, 8 A AC-3 at 400 V, Class 10 bimetal protection, IP55.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Motor Starters"],"specifications":{"Depth":"145 mm","Width":"182 mm","title":"3RK4340-3MR51-0BA0","Height":"220 mm","Trip Class":"CLASS 10","description":"SIRIUS MCU motor starter Enclosure degree of protection IP55 plastic Communication without electromechanically switching Short-circuit protection with circuit breaker DOL starter Brake without Performance class 8.00 A Motor circuit breaker with bi-metal thermal Manual operation without Connection power M screw connection Standard product","Type Of Voltage":"DC","lifecycle_stage":"current","Bus Communication":"No","Mounting Position":"+/-180° rotation possible on vertical mounting surface; can be tilted forward and backward by +/- 22.5° on vertical mounting surface","PROFINET protocol":"No","Product Brand Name":"SIRIUS","Type Of Assignment":"1","Product Designation":"motor starter MCU, I/O controlled","protection class IP":"IP55","PROFIBUS DP protocol":"No","Design Of The Product":"direct starter","Number Of Digital Inputs":"0","Short Circuit Protection":"Yes","at AC at 400 V rated value":"8 A","brake control with 24 V DC":"No","Operating Frequency Minimum":"80 1/h","brake control with 180 V DC":"No","brake control with 400 V AC":"No","brake control with 500 V DC":"No","Type Of The Motor Protection":"bimetal","at AC-3 at 400 V rated value":"8 A","Operating Voltage Rated Value":"340 ... 440 V","Substance Prohibitance (Date)":"05/01/2012","Design Of The Switching Contact":"electromechanical","Operating Frequency 1 Rated Value":"50 Hz","Operating Frequency 2 Rated Value":"60 Hz","Design Of Short-Circuit Protection":"circuit-breakers","Ambient Temperature During Operation":"-25 ... +35 °C","Product Component Motor Brake Output":"No","Type Of Voltage Of The Supply Voltage":"DC","reference code according to IEC 81346-2":"Q","Number Of Poles For Main Current Circuit":"3","control supply voltage at DC rated value":"20.4 ... 26.4 V","with low demand rate according to SN 31920":"50 %","protocol is supported AS-Interface protocol":"No","with high demand rate according to SN 31920":"75 %","operating power at AC-3 at 400 V rated value":"3 kW","Product Extension Braking Module For Brake Control":"No","Relative Negative Tolerance Of The Operating Frequency":"-10 %","Relative Positive Tolerance Of The Operating Frequency":"10 %","Type Of Electrical Connection For Main Current Circuit":"screw-type terminals","breaking capacity maximum short-circuit current (Icu) at 400 V rated value":"50 000 A","Adjustable Current Response Value Current Of The Current-Dependent Overload Release":"5.5 ... 8 A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/6769a77dcf5d720668ee086652dfcb00.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=291053&mlfb=3RK4340-3MR51-0BA0"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the AC-3 motor rating of 3RK4340-3MR51-0BA0?","answer":"The AC-3 rating is 8 A at 400 V, which covers direct-on-line starting of standard three-phase squirrel-cage motors up to approximately 4 kW at 400 V.
