Product details

It is rated for a motor power of 200 kW at 380/400 V AC and 220 kW at 440 V AC, with a rated operational current of 225 A in AC-3 utilisation category at up to 440 V AC.

The 225 A AC-3 rating is the headline figure — it tells you this starter can handle the high inrush and breaking demands of squirrel-cage motors up to that current. The AC-3 category per IEC 60947-4-1 covers starting and switching off motors during running, so this is the duty rating that governs real-world motor control, not a resistive-load number. The pre-wired assembly includes three contactors with a specific auxiliary contact composition: 1 NC and 1 NO on the star contactor, 2 NC and 1 NO on the line contactor, and 1 NC and 2 NO on the delta contactor. This pre-configured set covers the standard star-delta logic without needing to add auxiliary blocks for basic operation. Control circuit voltage is 230 V AC at 50/60 Hz, with an operating range of 0.85 to 1.1 Uc and a drop-out range of 0.35 to 0.55 Uc at under 55 °C. The inrush power draw is 805 VA at 50 Hz and 970 VA at 60 Hz — factor this into your control transformer sizing. The starter is rated for a maximum operating rate of 2400 cycles per hour at 55 °C, with a mechanical durability of 10 million cycles. The rated breaking capacity is 1800 A and the rated making capacity is 2250 A, both conforming to IEC 60947-4-1.

Mounting is plate-based, not DIN rail — plan for bolting the assembly to a backplate. The power circuit connections use M10 bolts, with lugs or ring terminals up to 185 mm² or a 32 x 4 mm busbar. Control circuit connections are screw clamp terminals accepting 1 to 4 mm² flexible or solid wire. Physical footprint: 525 mm wide, 235 mm deep, 110 mm high. The front face achieves IP20 with shrouds per IEC 60529 and VDE 0106 — suitable for enclosed panels but not for washdown environments.

The starter complies with IEC 60947-1, IEC 60947-4-1, EN 60947-4-1, EN 60947-1, and JIS C8201-4-1. The rated insulation voltage is 1000 V per IEC 60947-4-1 and 1500 V per VDE 0110 group C. Protective treatment is TH for tropical environments.
