The Siemens 3RA2145-4KD46-1NB3 is a SIRIUS 3RA2 combo non-reversing starter in the S3 frame size, rated for the 57-75 A motor current range. A combo starter integrates a contactor and overload relay into a single, pre-wired unit, saving panel space and wiring time compared to assembling discrete components. This part is designed for full-voltage starting of three-phase induction motors in industrial control panels.
The 57-75 A range governs the motor full-load current the starter can handle in AC-3 duty (squirrel-cage motors). The S3 frame size determines the physical footprint on the DIN rail and the busbar connection pitch — verify the panel cutout against the S3 drilling plan before committing the layout.
