Non-fused reversing starter, S00 frame — what fits in the panel
The 3RA2215-1JA16-2BB4 is a SIRIUS non-fused reversing motor starter in size S00, combining a 3RT2016-1BB42 contactor and a thermal bimetallic overload relay in one assembly. It is a reversing starter, meaning it controls motor direction through two contactors interlocked mechanically and electrically — one for forward, one for reverse, with the link module 3RA1921-1DA00 managing the interlock. The 24 V coil keeps control voltage low for PLC-driven panels or safety circuits.
Duty ratings and trip coordination
The magnetic short-circuit trip handles fault clearing; the overload release is thermal bimetallic, not electronic, so no auxiliary power is needed for the protection function. Maximum operating voltage is 690 V AC-3, with a rated frequency of 50-60 Hz. The 24 V coil is rated for continuous duty; the operating temperature range is -20 to +60 °C, with storage from -50 to +80 °C. At 500 V the rated power is 5.5 kW; at 600 V the current is 9 A.
Panel layout and wiring constraints
Snap-mounted onto DIN rail or screw-mounted with an additional push-in lug. Mounting position is vertical only. Dimensions are 90 mm width, 170 mm height, 97.1 mm depth — fits a standard S00 footprint. Clearance requirements: 20 mm upwards, 10 mm downwards, 9 mm at the side, zero forwards or backwards. Main contact wiring accepts stranded conductors 0.5-4 mm², or two conductors 0.75-2.5 mm². AWG equivalents: 2x (20-16), 2x (18-14), or 2x 12. The degree of pollution is 3, meaning it is rated for conductive pollution environments typical in industrial control panels.
Lifecycle and sourcing — active, quoted to order
The supplied contactor (3RT2016-1BB42) and link module (3RA1921-1DA00) are individually orderable as service spares. If the assembly is damaged, replacing these subcomponents avoids a full starter swap.
