Safety Guidelines
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and
operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes
in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and
label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.
Prescribed Usage

Introduction
Purpose of this manual
This SIRIUS 3RA6 Compact Starter Manual describes the compact starter and its functions.
It contains information about configuration, commissioning and servicing.
As well as providing information about the compact starter itself, the manual also deals with
compatible infeed systems. These are the SIRIUS infeed system for 3RA6, the
insulated 3RV19 three-phase busbar system and the 8US busbar adapter. The options in
terms of connecting to circuit breakers of other sizes and to the 3RV19 infeed system are
also discussed within this context.
Furthermore, to facilitate configuration the manual contains dimension drawings and
technical data of the system components.
Topics
The manual consists of instructive chapters, which are intended for reference purposes. The
following table provides an overview of the topics covered:

System description
3.1 System overview
General
The SIRIUS 3RA6 compact starter is a universal motor feeder that meets the requirements
of IEC / EN 60947-6-2 (weld-free). It combines the functions of a circuit breaker, a solid-state
overload relay and a contactor within a single housing and can be used in any application
involving the direct starting of standard induction motors with a rating of up to 32 A
(approx. 15 kW/400 V).
The compact starter is available as either a direct or a reversing starter.
As an option, an AS-i mounting module can be mounted on the compact starter with a 24 V
control voltage. The AS-i mounting module enables the compact starter to communicate via
an AS-Interface.

3.2 System configuration
3.2.2 System configuration with optional AS-i mounting module
The compact starter with 24 V control voltage can be controlled via an AS-Interface. The
actuator sensor interface (AS-Interface) is a modular networking system for sensors and
actuators at the lowest field level.
Configuration
If the AS-Interface is being used for control purposes, the AS-i mounting module needs to be
installed on the compact starter (24 V) instead of the two auxiliary circuit terminals. The AS-i
and auxiliary voltage cables are connected to the AS-i mounting module.
An AS-i power supply is used to feed the AS-i voltage into the AS-i cable, which also serves
as a communication cable between the AS-i master and slave. The auxiliary voltage is
supplied by a 24 VDC PELV power supply in accordance with VDE 0106 safety class III.
For additional information on the AS-Interface, please refer to the manual entitled
"AS-Interface System"
(order number: 3RK2703-3AB02-1AA1).
For additional information on connecting the AS-i mounting module, please refer

Configuration
4.1 SIRIUS 3RA6 compact starter
Assembly group installation
The module can be installed horizontally (i.e. on a vertically installed DIN rail) or vertically
(i.e. on a horizontally installed DIN rail).
Safe isolation
The following limit values must be observed to ensure safe isolation of the compact starters
in accordance with IEC / EN 60947-1:
● Control circuit to internal auxiliary circuit: 250 V
● Internal auxiliary/control circuit to internal auxiliary/control circuit: 250 V
● Internal auxiliary/control circuit to external auxiliary circuit: 400 V
● Main circuit to internal auxiliary/control circuit: 400 V
● Main circuit to external auxiliary circuit: 400 V
4
In order for the "safe isolation" of circuits to be achieved, an individual fault must not be able
to trigger a voltage overspill from one circuit into another. The kinds of fault to be taken into
account include twisted or loose conductive parts, twisted solder pins, broken winding wire,
missing screws or broken barriers within a device.
Cabinet types
The system can be installed inside a central control cabinet or a distributed control box.
Grounding measures
No grounding measures are necessary.

Required control power supply
Depending on the version, the compact starter requires the following control power supply
(AC/DC):
● 24 V
● 42 to 70 V
● 110 to 240 V
Operating temperature
The compact starter has been designed for use with ambient temperatures ranging from
- 20 °C to + 40 °C.
Derating
Within the temperature range + 40 °C to + 60 °C, derating of the compact starter's
permissible rated current is necessary if:
● Several compact starters are installed side by side on a vertical DIN rail without any
space in between.
● Several compact starters are installed side by side in a SIRIUS 3RA6 infeed system
without any space in between.

Short-circuit protection
The compact starter has a rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity ICU of 53 kA at
400 V. If the short-circuit current at the installation point exceeds the compact starter's
specified rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity, then you will need to use a backup
fuse. It is also possible to install an upstream circuit breaker with limiter function.
Combining compact starters with SIRIUS circuit breakers
The compact starter's connecting terminals are compatible with size S0 circuit breakers from
the SIRIUS 3RV range.
Distance from neighboring components
When installing compact starters, the following distances from grounded or live parts and
from neighboring components must be observed in accordance with IEC / EN 60947-6-2.
● Lateral distance from grounded parts: 10 mm
● Arcing space, top and bottom: 30 mm
