Form factor and mounting — panel fit for a 393 mm tall unit
The 3RW5248-2AC04 measures 393 mm high by 210 mm wide by 203 mm deep, with screw fixing as the fastening method. Mounting position allows vertical surface orientation with ±90° rotation and ±22.5° tilt forward/backward. Clearance requirements: 100 mm above, 75 mm below, 10 mm in front, 5 mm at the sides, and 0 mm behind.
Rated current and trip class — what the 240 A minimum means
The minimum rated operating current is 240 A, with a minimum load of 15 % relative to the smallest settable Ie. Trip class is configurable: default Class 10A, with options for 10E and 20E, all per IEC 60947-4-2. This means the soft starter can handle motor start profiles from standard (10A) to extended (20E) acceleration times, depending on the load inertia.
Voltage range and approvals — 200-480 V with UL/CSA/CE
Rated supply voltage is 200 to 480 V AC. The unit carries UL, CSA, and CE marking, covering installations in North American and European markets. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60947-4-2 suits industrial environments with conductive dust or moisture.
Communication interfaces — PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Modbus, EtherNet/IP
Built-in communication options include PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET standard. PROFIenergy support is available with the PROFINET standard communication module. An analog output (4-20 mA default, parameterizable to 0-10 V with High Feature HMI) provides motor current feedback for monitoring.
Environmental and operating limits
Shock resistance is 15 g / 11 ms, dropping to 12 g / 11 ms if potential contact lifting occurs. The unit supports auto-reset and remote reset by cycling the control supply voltage.
