Product details

The Siemens 3RA2120-4AA26-0BB4 is a SIRIUS direct online starter in size S0 — a pre-assembled combination of a contactor and a thermal overload relay, intended for switching and protecting three-phase motors. It comes supplied with a 3RT2026-1BB40 contactor and a 3RA2921-1BA00 link module, so the coordination between the two is factory-set, not something you tune on the bench. The coil is rated 24 V DC, so confirm your control voltage matches — this is not a 24 V AC or 110 V variant.

Mounting and fit

The S0 frame takes a 45 mm wide footprint on the rail, and the depth of 107 mm means it clears most standard enclosures — but check your door clearance if the starter sits near the hinge side. Clearance spaces: 50 mm upward, 20 mm forward, 20 mm to the side, 10 mm downward. Zero clearance needed behind the unit. That forward clearance is the main gotcha — if you're packing starters tight in a shallow panel, the 20 mm forward allowance for arc venting and wiring bend radius is real, not a suggestion.

RoHS compliance date is 2009-10-01, covering the substance prohibitions under the EU directive. No REACH or UL listing is explicitly stated in the spec record, but the SIRIUS family typically carries UL/CSA certification — verify the specific approval mark on the nameplate if your panel requires it.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for this direct starter?

AC-3 rated current is 16 A at 400 V, with a maximum operating voltage of 690 V. The thermal overload relay is Class 10. The coil is 24 V DC. Horsepower equivalents: 5 hp at 220/230 V, 10 hp at 460/480 V.

What is the physical size and mounting requirement?

Size S0 frame: 45 mm wide, 193 mm tall, 107 mm deep. Mounts vertically on 35 mm DIN rail or with screws. Requires 50 mm clearance above, 20 mm forward, 20 mm to the side, 10 mm below, and zero behind.

What contactor and link module are supplied with this starter?

It ships with a 3RT2026-1BB40 contactor and a 3RA2921-1BA00 link module, factory-assembled for coordinated motor protection.
