It carries ATEX and IECEx certification, so it's approved for explosive atmospheres — that's the main reason someone hunting this order code needs it. The control voltage range is 110...250 V AC at either 50 or 60 Hz, meaning it'll work on common plant voltages without a step-down transformer. Trip class is selectable: default is CLASS 10A / 10E, but you can set it to 20E or 30E per IEC 60947-4-2. That gives you flexibility for different load types — fast starts for pumps, slower ramps for high-inertia loads like centrifuges or conveyors. The service factor is 1.15, so it can handle a 15% continuous overload without tripping. Dimensions are 210 mm wide, 393 mm high, 203 mm deep. Clearance requirements: 100 mm upward, 75 mm downward, 10 mm forward, 0 mm backward, and 5 mm at the sides. That backward-zero clearance means it can sit flush against a panel backplate — handy for tight enclosures. Terminations are screw-type, so standard ring or fork lugs work fine. Communication options are broad: PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP are all built in — no separate option card needed for most fieldbuses. PROFIenergy is supported when used with PROFINET High-Feature modules, which helps with energy management during idle periods. ## Protection and control features This soft starter includes DC braking for quick stops, voltage ramp for smooth acceleration, pump ramp down to avoid water hammer, torque control, and a breakaway pulse to start sticky loads. Accuracy class is 5 per IEC 61557-12, which is good enough for motor protection and energy monitoring. It logs events, errors, and has a trace function for diagnosing start-up issues. Analog output is configurable as 4...20 mA (default) or 0...10 V, so it can feed a panel meter or PLC analog input with motor current or other parameters. Firmware is field-updatable, and there are four parameterizable digital inputs/outputs.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RW5545-6HA16 soft starter, ATEX, 200-690 V","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RW5545-6HA16 soft starter for motors up to 690 V, ATEX and IECEx certified, trip classes 10A/10E/20E/30E, PROFIBUS/Modbus/EtherNet/IP.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Soft Starters"],"specifications":{"ATEX":"Yes","Depth":"203 mm","IECEx":"Yes","Width":"210 mm","title":"3RW5545-6HA16","Height":"393 mm","Upwards":"100 mm","Forwards":"10 mm","PROFIBUS":"Yes","at 50 Hz":"110 ... 250 V","at 60 Hz":"110 ... 250 V","Backwards":"0 mm","Downwards":"75 mm","CE marking":"Yes","DC braking":"Yes","Event List":"Yes","Modbus RTU":"Yes","Modbus TCP":"Yes","Trip Class":"CLASS 10A / 10E (default) / 20E / 30E;
