Rated 8 A at AC-3 duty at 400 V, it switches standard three-phase squirrel-cage induction motors up to that current — the AC-3 rating is the load-bearing figure for motor starting, not the resistive AC-1 number. The control supply accepts 20.4 to 26.4 V DC, and the main circuit operating voltage range is 340 to 440 V AC at 50/60 Hz. Three poles serve the main current circuit. IP55 enclosure rating means the unit is dust-protected and withstands water jets — suitable for installation in industrial environments where washdown or airborne particulates are present, but not for submersion or high-pressure washdown zones that would demand IP65 or higher.
AS-Interface integration and mounting
This motor starter communicates via the AS-Interface protocol, with no PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET on board — the bus interface is dedicated to AS-i, so the part fits into an AS-i network segment without a gateway for the motor starter itself. Dimensions are 182 mm wide, 220 mm high, and 145 mm deep. Short-circuit protection is provided by circuit-breakers (not fuses), and the unit is designed for a single motor assignment.
