It supports PROFIenergy for energy management when paired with the PROFINET communication module, and the firmware is field-upgradable so you can apply later feature releases without swapping hardware. ## Ambient temperature and derating Rated for operation from -25°C to +60°C, but Siemens flags derating above 40°C — if your panel sits in a hot mezzanine or near a furnace, expect to reduce the continuous current rating per the derating curve in the manual. Shock resistance is 15 g for 11 ms, dropping to 12 g if contact lifting is a concern — fine for most industrial floors but worth checking if the starter is mounted on a vibrating compressor skid. ## Pump-specific features and minimum load Includes Pump Ramp Down and Soft Torque profiles — these reduce pressure surges on pipeline restarts and prevent water hammer on stop, which is why this model shows up in water/wastewater BOMs. The minimum settable load is 15% of the smallest Ie setting, and the floor current is 14 A — so it will not regulate down to fractional-horsepower motors; plan your motor FLA against that floor. ## Compliance and approvals for export Carries CE, UL, and CSA marks — covers the main North American and European regulatory jurisdictions without separate certification runs. The service factor is 1.0, meaning no built-in overload margin beyond the nameplate rating — factor that into your coordination study if the driven load has intermittent overload cycles.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RW5216-3TC05 SIRIUS Soft Starter, 14 A min","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RW5216-3TC05 SIRIUS soft starter, 14 A minimum setting, 200-600 V, Class 10A/10E/20E trip.
