Siemens SIRIUS 3RW30 Soft Starter, Economical 3-phase Motor Soft Start for Fans & Pumps
Siemens SIRIUS 3RW30 compact soft starter adopts 2-phase control, designed for standard light-load 3-phase asynchronous motors. It enables smooth motor starting and stopping to reduce starting inrush current, grid voltage drop and mechanical impact, and eliminates water hammer in pump systems. Featuring small footprint and cost advantages, it comes with built-in electronic motor overload protection. No display panel required for simple commissioning. It is a cost-effective choice for standard fan and pump cabinet integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can 3RW30 soft starter adjust motor speed?
No. The 3RW30 only realizes soft start, soft stop and current limiting. The motor runs at full speed during operation without continuous speed regulation. Select inverter if speed control is required.
Q2: Does 3RW30 support communication function?
3RW30 basic version has NO communication expansion and cannot connect to PROFINET / Modbus. Choose 3RW51/52 or 3RW55 for communication.
Q3: Should I select by power or rated current?
Select primarily by motor rated current; power is only for reference.
Q4: Is fuse required for the system?
Semiconductor fast fuse is recommended for short-circuit protection.
Q5: Warranty & supply?
Brand new genuine Siemens with manufacturer warranty. Stock varies per model. Technical manuals, drawings and quotations available.
