Start-up in a small footprint – SIRIUS 3RM1 Motor Starters

Compact Motor Starter

• Width of only 22,5 mm

• Switch small motors up to 3 HP as direct-in-line or
reversing starters using durable and energy-efficient
hybrid controls
• Protecting motors against overload
• Switching in a safety-related manner if required

 These Motor Starters are in response to increasing

numbers of auxiliary drives in plant and mechanical
engineering

Space savings of up to 75% possible per 50 % space savings 75 % space savings

with direct-on-line starter with reversing starter
motor feeder

Without or with fuses – Arrange short-circuit protection optimally with SIRIUS
3RM1 Motor Starters

Fuseless configuration Configuration with fuses

• Group configuration with circuit breakers for several Motor • Compact load feeder with a separate short-circuit
Starters protection per Motor Starter
• No change of the protective device after short-circuit • Simple exchange of fuses

Infeed system
-- Simple snatching
-- Time savings thanks to low wiring
requirements in the main circuit
-- Use with 8US adapter, for the
configuration of fuses possible as
well

Busbar system
Use of 8US adapter for 60 mm busbar
systems and compact busbar systems

Applications – For switching and protecting small motors

Conveyor Systems
•Demand for durable Motor Starters for small motors with high frequency of
operation  Thanks to low-wear hybrid controls, the Motor Starters are ideally suited
to this

Plant engineering
•Demand for a large number of small Motor Starters for pumps, fans and
compressors with flexible wide setting ranges  The wide setting range enables
simple adaptation to the respective motor

Machine tools
•Demand for option of integrating compact control cabinets in the immediate vicinity
of or in the machine  In this regard, extremely compact devices are required for
switching motors so that the control cabinets can be installed directly at the machine

System aspects / value-added aspects –
SIRIUS 3RM1 Motor Starters

Energy efficiency
Hybrid controls combine the benefits of relay
and semiconductor controls. Power losses
during operation are therefore extremely low.

Integration into the

SIRIUS modular system
Short-circuit protection up to 55 kA is possible in
combination with SIRIUS Motor Starter
protectors.

Safety Integrated
Fail-safe switching to SIL 3 / Pl e Cat. 4 is
easily possible, e.g. when the Motor Starters
are combined with SIRIUS 3SK Safety Relays.
Thanks to the shared device connectors,
significant wiring time is saved, and a safe
machine is able to be implemented quickly and
simply.
