What this reversing starter handles on your motor line
The 3RA2215-1KA17-2AP6 is a SIRIUS reversing motor starter, size S00, meaning it packages a reversing contactor pair and a thermal bimetallic overload relay into one unit that controls a motor's forward and reverse rotation from a single DIN-rail footprint. The thermal overload design uses a bimetallic strip that tracks motor heating directly — no electronic adjustment to lose or drift, which matters when you're swapping this into a panel where the maintenance crew isn't carrying a programming terminal.
Panel fit and mounting — DIN rail or screw, no surprises
Snaps onto 35 mm DIN rail or can be screw-mounted with the included push-in lug; the 90 mm width and 97.1 mm depth mean it fits a standard S00 feeder slot without crowding adjacent devices. Mounting position is vertical only, with 20 mm clearance needed above and 10 mm below for airflow and wiring access — no side clearance required beyond the 9 mm on each side for the clip release. The supplied contactor is a 3RT2017-1AP62 and the link module is 3RA1921-1DA00 — both matched to the S00 frame, so you're not piecing together components that might have different coil ratings or mechanical interlock timing.
Power ratings across common supply voltages
At 230 V single-phase it delivers 2 hp, at 400 V three-phase it handles 5.5 kW (about 7.5 hp), and at 575/600 V it reaches 10 hp — the motor full-load current at 480 V is 11 A, same as at 600 V, so the contactor sizing stays consistent across North American 480 V and 600 V plants. Coil operating range is 187–242 V at 50 Hz and 192–264 V at 60 Hz, covering the typical 208/220/240 V control circuits without needing a separate transformer tap.
