Trip class and motor protection
The 3RW5245-2AC14 is a SIRIUS soft starter with a default trip class of CLASS 10A per IEC 60947-4-2, with selectable 10E or 20E for heavier starting duty. Minimum settable current is 135 A, so this unit is sized for motor FLA down to that floor. Below 135 A you need a smaller frame in the 3RW52 family.
Fieldbus and control wiring
Communications stack is broad: PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET with PROFIenergy support — all onboard or via the standard communication module. That means it drops into most plant networks without a gateway. Analog output is configurable as 4-20 mA (default) or 0-10 V via the High Feature HMI parameterization. The remote reset is done by cycling the control supply voltage off then on — no separate reset terminal to wire.
Screw-fixing mount on a vertical surface, rotatable ±90° and tiltable ±22.5° front-to-back. Clearance requirements: 100 mm above, 75 mm below, 10 mm forward, 5 mm at the sides, 0 mm backward. That 100 mm top clearance is the one that catches people — skimp on it and you lose airflow for the heat sink. Shock rated at 15 g / 11 ms. Dimensions: 393 mm high, 210 mm wide, 203 mm deep — verify panel door clearance before cutting the hole.
