Product details

134 A at 40 °C — the rating that sizes the motor branch

The 3RW4055-6BB45: That 40 °C figure is the reference for motor full-load current matching — if your panel ambient runs hotter, use the derated value for the BOM line. Built-in motor overload protection and adjustable current limitation mean you don't need a separate overload relay in most installations — the soft starter handles both ramp control and thermal protection in one device. Intrinsic device protection covers the thyristors and control electronics against fault conditions.

Size S6 frame — panel cutout and wiring constraints

Size S6 defines the physical envelope: 198 mm height, 120 mm width, 250 mm depth. Mounting is screw fixing with specific orientation limits — with the optional fan, the unit can be rotated ±90° on a vertical surface and tilted ±22.5° front/back; without the fan, rotation is limited to ±10° and tilt to ±10°. Main circuit wiring accepts busbar connection or cable: 2x (25–120 mm²) stranded, 2x (16–95 mm²) finely stranded, or 4–250 kcmil. Auxiliary contacts take 2x (20–14 AWG). Clearance around the unit: 100 mm above, 75 mm below, 5 mm at the sides.

230 V control, 600 V insulation — system voltage fit

The insulation voltage is rated 600 V, so the unit fits 400 V and 480 V systems with headroom. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60947-4-2 means it's rated for industrial environments with conductive pollution — no derating needed for dirty panel air. The minimum load is 20% — below that the motor may not start reliably. Maximum motor cable length is 300 m.

Frequently asked questions

What is the 3RW4055-6BB45 rated current at different ambient temperatures?

The soft starter is rated 134 A at 40 °C, derating to 117 A at 50 °C and 100 A at 60 °C. Use the derated value matching your panel ambient for motor sizing.

Does the 3RW4055-6BB45 include built-in motor overload protection?

Yes, motor overload protection is integrated, along with adjustable current limitation and intrinsic device protection for the thyristors and electronics. In most installations no separate overload relay is needed.

What wire sizes does the 3RW4055-6BB45 accept for main and control circuits?

Main circuit: busbar connection or 2x (25–120 mm²) stranded, 2x (16–95 mm²) finely stranded, or 4–250 kcmil. Auxiliary contacts: 2x (20–14 AWG).
