What ships in the carton — a complete motor branch kit
The 3RA2110-0GA15-1AK6 is a factory-assembled non-fused load feeder in size S00, combining a 3RT2015-1AK61 contactor and a 3RV2011-0GA10 circuit-breaker on a common mounting base. It ships as a single order code — no separate sourcing of the contactor, breaker, or link module. The supplied link module 3RA1921-1DA00 pre-wires the contactor coil and breaker auxiliary contacts internally, so the kit lands with the internal control wiring already in place. The only field terminations are the main power wires and the control signal to the coil. Rated for AC-3 duty up to 690 V, this direct starter handles motor loads up to 180 W at 400 V, 180 W at 500 V, and 250 W at 690 V — covering small pump, fan, and conveyor motors in a single enclosure footprint.
Panel fit and clearance — what the dimensions mean for layout
The load feeder measures 45 mm wide, 97.1 mm deep, and 167.2 mm tall — a size S00 footprint that fits standard 35 mm DIN rail with screw and snap-on fastening. Mounting position must be vertical per the spec. Clearance requirements: 20 mm upwards, 10 mm downwards, 9 mm at the sides, and zero forwards or backwards. These gaps allow heat from the thermal bimetallic overload release to dissipate and give the magnetic short-circuit trip room to vent arc gases during a fault event. Pollution degree 3 rating means the unit is designed for industrial environments with conductive dust or occasional condensation — no additional conformal coating needed in a standard IP54 enclosure.
Motor protection coordination — Trip Class 10 and thermal overload
This protects standard squirrel-cage motors during locked-rotor conditions without nuisance tripping on normal starting current. The magnetic short-circuit trip provides instantaneous fault clearing — coordinated with the 3RV2011-0GA10 circuit-breaker's own magnetic release for selectivity downstream. The combination meets the requirements of IEC 60947-4-1 for coordinated motor starter protection. Operating temperature range is -20 to +60 °C during operation, with storage and transport tolerance from -50 to +80 °C.
Wiring and termination — conductor sizes and auxiliary options
AWG equivalents: 2× (20-16) or 2× (18-14) or 2× 12 for the contactor side. The product extension auxiliary switch is available — the base unit has the mechanical interface for adding auxiliary contact blocks without removing the load feeder from the DIN rail. This allows status feedback to a PLC or remote I/O without extra wiring looms. Rated insulation voltage is 690 V, matching the AC-3 maximum switching voltage.
Sourcing and lifecycle — current production, quoted to order
No direct functional second-source exists for this factory-assembled combination — the 6ES7517-3FP00-0AB0 is a Siemens PLC module, not a load feeder, and cannot drop into the same panel position without complete rewiring. The 3RA2 series is the only form-fit-function match for the S00 footprint. The unit ships as a complete kit — no separate ordering of the contactor, breaker, or link module.
