Siemens SIRIUS 3RW4444-2BC45 Soft Starter - 250A, 160kW at 500V
Siemens SIRIUS soft starter, 250A standard, 160kW (500V), phased-out.
The Siemens 3RW4444-2BC45 is a SIRIUS soft starter designed for smooth acceleration of three-phase induction motors. It provides rated current performance of 250A in standard inside-delta configurations, supporting motor power up to 160 kW at 500V AC. This unit operates on a 400-600V AC supply and features 230V AC control voltage with spring-type terminals for secure connections.
Soft starters like this are vital in applications where high starting currents of direct-on-line starting would be detrimental, such as conveyor systems, pumps, fans, and compressors. They reduce mechanical stress on machinery and electrical grid load. Please note, this is a phased-out product with the SIRIUS 3RW5 series, specifically 3RW5544-2HA16, as its preferred successor.
Stanlo Automation, a veteran-owned surplus distributor, offers the Siemens 3RW4444-2BC45. Secure this crucial motor control component while available, or inquire about its successor for your new projects.
