Product details

ATEX-certified soft starter with multi-protocol fieldbus

The Siemens 3RW5513-3HF14 is a soft starter certified for use in explosive atmospheres (ATEX Yes, IECEx Yes) and carries UL and CSA approvals — a rare combination that lets it serve both European Zone-rated installations and North American UL-listed panels without a separate barrier device. Rated supply voltage is 200-480 V AC (50/60 Hz), covering the common low-voltage motor distribution range across global sites.

Trip class and motor protection flexibility

Trip class is selectable between CLASS 10A, 10E (default), 20E, and 30E per IEC 60947-4-2 — the 10A/10E setting protects standard squirrel-cage motors during start, while 20E or 30E accommodates high-inertia loads (centrifuges, crushers) that need a longer acceleration ramp without nuisance tripping. Accuracy Class 5 per IEC 61557-12 means the current measurement error stays within ±5 % of reading — sufficient for motor overload protection but not for revenue-grade energy metering. The integrated fail-safe function (with fail-safe: 1) supports SIL-rated safety circuits; the safe state is an open load circuit, which means the output de-energises to a known off condition on fault.

Fieldbus connectivity and commissioning tools

Supports PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP on the same hardware — no swapping of communication modules needed when the control network changes. Built-in event list, error logbook, and trace function let a commissioning engineer capture start-up current profiles and fault sequences without an external data logger. Analog output is configurable as 4-20 mA (default) or 0-10 V, feeding motor current or torque signals to a PLC analog input or local panel meter.

Mounting dimensions and clearance requirements

Width 170 mm, height 275 mm, depth 152 mm — the footprint is sized for a standard 400 mm-wide enclosure backplate with room for a line-side contactor and overload relay on the same DIN rail. Required clearances: 100 mm upwards, 75 mm downwards, 5 mm at the side, 10 mm forwards, 0 mm backwards — the zero rear clearance means it can sit flush against the backplate, saving depth in shallow enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

What ATEX certification does the 3RW5513-3HF14 carry?

The soft starter is listed as ATEX Yes and IECEx Yes, which means it is certified for use in potentially explosive gas and dust atmospheres per the ATEX directive and IECEx scheme. This eliminates the need for an external galvanic isolator in Zone 1 or Zone 21 applications when the motor circuit is properly designed.

What trip classes are available on the 3RW5513-3HF14?

Trip class is selectable between CLASS 10A, 10E (default), 20E, and 30E per IEC 60947-4-2. CLASS 10A/10E suits standard starting duty; 20E and 30E handle high-inertia loads with longer acceleration times.
