Reversing contactor assembly for compact motor control
The Siemens 3RA2315-8XB30-1BW4 is a SIRIUS reversing contactor assembly in frame size S00, designed to switch three-phase motors in forward/reverse duty without external interlocking wiring. It ships with two 3RT2015-1BW42 contactors and a 3RA2913-2AA1 mechanical interlock kit, so the reversing pair arrives as a tested assembly ready for DIN-rail mounting.
Mounting and panel integration
Dimensions are 90 mm wide, 68 mm high, 73 mm deep; clearance gaps of 6 mm sideways and upwards keep heat dissipation predictable in a multi-device row.
Environmental and compliance
Rated for operation from -25 °C to +60 °C and storage from -55 °C to +80 °C, covering most indoor panel environments without forced cooling. Shock resistance is 10.5 g for 5 ms and 6.6 g for 10 ms on both AC and DC supplies — adequate for machine-mounted panels near presses or conveyors. RoHS compliance date is 2009-10-01; the part carries the standard Siemens substance prohibitance declaration.
