Soft starter for motor control panels
The Siemens 3RW5125-1XC14-0S is a SIRIUS soft starter sized for a minimum motor current of 25.5 A on a 200-480 VAC three-phase supply. The Trip Class defaults to CLASS 10A per IEC 60947-4-2, meaning it protects standard induction motors during start-up by limiting current and torque — the 10-second thermal curve suits most pump, fan, and conveyor loads without nuisance tripping. It also supports CLASS 10E and 20E for extended ramp times on high-inertia loads. Three fieldbus slices are built in: PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, and PROFINET standard, so it drops into existing automation architectures without an external gateway. The analog output is configurable as 4-20 mA or 0-10 V, giving the PLC a direct read of motor current or power factor. An HMI-Standard and HMI-High Feature interface are onboard for local parameterization and diagnostics, including an error logbook. Mounting is screw-fixing on a vertical surface, with ±10° rotation and tilt allowed. The dimensions are 321 mm high, 185 mm wide, and 203 mm deep — a substantial footprint that needs clear panel space. Clearance requirements: 100 mm above, 75 mm below, 10 mm forward, 5 mm to the side, and zero backward.
