The Siemens 3RW5527-1HA04 is a SIRIUS 3RW55 soft starter rated for 200-480 V supply, covering common European and North American line voltages. Its trip class is selectable between CLASS 10A, 10E (default), 20E, and 30E per IEC 60947-4-2 — meaning you match the overload protection to the motor's starting characteristic: CLASS 10A for standard induction motors with moderate start times, CLASS 20E or 30E for high-inertia loads like centrifuges or crushers that need longer acceleration without nuisance tripping. ATEX and IECEx certification (both Yes) qualifies this unit for use in potentially explosive atmospheres when installed per the relevant codes.
The 3RW5527-1HA04 measures 185 mm wide, 306 mm high, and 203 mm deep, with screw terminals for power and control wiring. Clearance requirements: 100 mm upwards, 75 mm downwards, 10 mm forwards, 0 mm backwards, and 5 mm at the sides — plan the enclosure layout accordingly, especially the upward space for heat dissipation. Communication options include PROFIBUS, Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP, plus PROFINET with PROFIenergy support when paired with the appropriate communication module. This covers most fieldbus topologies found in process and manufacturing lines.
Approvals include CE, UL, and CSA, covering European and North American regulatory jurisdictions. The ATEX and IECEx marks add the hazardous-location acceptance that many process-industry buyers require.
