Bus integration and supply
The 3RK4320-3BR51-0BA0: The unit communicates over AS-Interface (AS-i) protocol, not PROFIBUS or PROFINET — confirm your network master supports AS-i before specifying. Control supply is 20.4–26.4 V DC, separate from the motor power circuit. The 0.8 A AC-3 rating at 400 V sets the maximum motor FLA this starter can switch; size the motor branch circuit so the full-load current stays under this figure.
Mounting and enclosure fit
IP55 rated — the housing is dust-protected and splash-proof, suitable for panel-mount in washdown areas or outdoor cabinets, but not for submerged or high-pressure spray zones. Dimensions are 145 mm deep, 182 mm wide, 220 mm tall — check the enclosure backplate layout for clearance on the AS-i cable entry. The bimetal overload is field-adjustable; the trip class is fixed at Class 10.
Lifecycle and procurement
RoHS compliance date is 05/01/2012, meaning it meets the EU RoHS substance restrictions effective from that date.
