Product details

What this soft starter does

The Siemens 3RW5116-1XC14-0S is a SIRIUS soft starter sized for motor starting duty on 200-480 V AC supplies, with a minimum settable operating current of 14 A. It delivers voltage ramp and soft torque profiles to reduce mechanical shock on conveyors, pumps, and compressors, plus a ramp-down (soft stop) for controlled deceleration. Trip class is selectable between CLASS 10A (default), 10E, and 20E per IEC 60947-4-2, which governs the thermal overload protection curve — CLASS 10A clears a locked-rotor condition in under 10 seconds, matching standard motor starts; 20E stretches that window for high-inertia loads like centrifuges.

Fieldbus and HMI integration

This soft starter carries onboard PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, and PROFINET standard interfaces, so it drops directly into a Siemens S7 or third-party control network without an external gateway. The HMI-Standard and HMI-High Feature options give local parameter access and an analog output configurable as 4-20 mA or 0-10 V for speed or current feedback to a PLC. A remote reset is possible by cycling the control supply voltage — useful for unattended restart after a fault.

Mounts via screw fixing on a vertical surface, with ±10° rotation or tilt allowed. Clearance requirements: 100 mm above, 75 mm below, 10 mm in front, 5 mm at the sides, and 0 mm behind — tight enough for a shallow backpanel. Shock rated at 15 g / 11 ms; vibration resistance is 15 mm at 6 Hz and 2 g up to 500 Hz.

Frequently asked questions

What is the trip class for 3RW5116-1XC14-0S?

Trip class is selectable as CLASS 10A (default), 10E, or 20E per IEC 60947-4-2. CLASS 10A clears a locked-rotor condition in under 10 seconds; 20E extends the window for high-inertia loads.

Does 3RW5116-1XC14-0S have a built-in bypass?

The evidence does not list a built-in bypass contactor. The soft starter supports inside-delta circuit wiring, which can reduce the rated current requirement for the bypass contactor if one is added externally.
