Product details

Active production, SIRIUS S3 frame

The 3RW4046-2BB15: It carries a rated current of 80 A at 40 °C, derating to 73 A at 50 °C and 66 A at 60 °C — the ambient temperature inside the panel drives the usable current, not the nameplate number.

Mounting and panel fit

Dimensions are 170 mm high, 70 mm wide, 190 mm deep — the S3 frame fits a standard 400 mm deep enclosure with clearance for the 40 mm downward and 30 mm side air gaps.

Control and protection features

Control supply voltage spans 110–230 V DC, covering common site voltages without a separate power supply module. Built-in motor overload protection and adjustable current limitation let you set the starting torque profile per load — minimum load threshold is 20 % of rated current. Rated insulation voltage is 600 V, operating frequency 50/60 Hz, and the device operates from -25 to +60 °C — suitable for 400/480 V systems in unconditioned industrial enclosures.
