3RW Soft Starters
3RW30
for standard applications
■ Overview
The SIRIUS 3RW30 soft starters reduce the motor voltage
through variable phase control and increase it in ramp-like mode
from a selectable starting voltage up to mains voltage. During
starting, these devices limit the torque as well as the current and
prevent the shocks which arise during direct starts or wye-delta
starts. In this way, mechanical loads and mains voltage dips can
be reliably reduced.
Soft starting reduces the stress on the connected equipment
and results in lower wear and therefore longer periods of troublefree production. The selectable start value means that the soft
starters can be adjusted individually to the requirements of the
application in question and unlike wye-delta starters are not
restricted to two-stage starting with fixed voltage ratios.
The SIRIUS 3RW30 soft starters are characterized above all by
their small space requirements. Integrated bypass contacts
mean that no power loss has to be taken into the bargain at the
power semiconductors (thyristors) after the motor has started
up. This cuts down on heat losses, enabling a more compact
design and making external bypass circuits superfluous.
■ Application
The 3RW30 soft starters are suitable for soft starting of
three-phase asynchronous motors.
Due to two-phase control, the current is kept at minimum values
in all three phases throughout the entire starting time. Due
to continuous voltage influencing, current and torque peaks,
which are unavoidable in the case of wye-delta starters, for
instance, do not occur.
Application areas
• Pumps
• Heat pumps
• Hydraulic pumps
• Presses
• Conveyors
• Roller conveyors
• Screw conveyors
Various versions of the SIRIUS 3RW30 soft starters are available:
• Standard version for fixed-speed three-phase motors, sizes
S00, S0, S2 and S3, with integrated bypass contact system
• Version for fixed-speed three-phase motors in a 22.5 mm
enclosure without bypass
6
Soft starters rated up to 55 kW (at 400 V) for standard applications in three-phase networks are available. Extremely small
sizes, low power losses and simple start-up are just three of the
many advantages of this soft starter.

■ Overview
■ Application
SIRIUS 3RW40 soft starters have all the same advantages as the
3RW30 soft starters.
The SIRIUS 3RW40 soft starters are characterized above all by
their small space requirements. Integrated bypass contacts
mean that no power loss has to be taken into the bargain at the
power semiconductors (thyristors) after the motor has started
up. This cuts down on heat losses, enabling a more compact
design and making external bypass circuits superfluous.
At the same time this soft starter comes with additional integrated functions such as adjustable current limiting, motor
overload and intrinsic device protection, and optional thermistor
motor protection. The higher the motor rating, the more important these functions because they make it unnecessary to
purchase and install protection equipment such as overload relays.
Internal intrinsic device protection prevents the thermal
overloading of the thyristors and the power section defects this
can cause. As an option the thyristors can also be protected by
semiconductor fuses from short-circuiting.
Thanks to integrated status monitoring and fault monitoring, this
compact soft starter offers many different diagnostics options.
Up to four LEDs and relay outputs permit differentiated monitoring and diagnostics of the operating mechanism by indicating
the operating state as well as for example mains or phase failure,
missing load, non-permissible tripping time/class setting, thermal overloading or device faults.
Soft starters rated up to 250 kW (at 400 V) for standard
applications in three-phase networks are available. Extremely
small sizes, low power losses and simple start-up are just three
of the many advantages of the SIRIUS 3RW40 soft starters.

The SIRIUS 3RW40 solid-state soft starters are suitable for soft
starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous motors.
Due to two-phase control, the current is kept at minimum values
in all three phases throughout the entire starting time and disturbing direct current components are eliminated in addition. This
not only enables the two-phase starting of motors up to 250 kW
(at 400 V) but also avoids the current and torque peaks which
occur e.g. with wye-delta starters.

3RW Soft Starters
3RW30
for standard applications
■ Function
The space required by the compact SIRIUS 3RW30 soft starter
is often only about one third of that required by a contactor assembly for wye-delta starting of comparable rating. This not only
saves space in the control cabinet and on the standard mounting rail but also does away completely with the wiring work
needed for wye-delta starters. This is notable in particular for
higher motor ratings which are only rarely available as fully wired
solutions.
At the same time the number of cables from the starter to the
motor is reduced from six to three. Compact dimensions, short
start-up times, easy wiring and fast commissioning make
themselves felt as clear-cut cost advantages.
The bypass contacts of these soft starters are protected during
operation by an integrated solid-state arc quenching system.
This prevents damage to the bypass contacts in the event of a
fault, e.g. brief disconnection of the control voltage, mechanical
shocks or life-related component defects on the coil operating
mechanism or main contact spring.
The new series of devices comes with the "polarity balancing"
control method, which is designed to prevent direct current components in two-phase controlled soft starters. On two-phase
controlled soft starters the current resulting from superimposition
of the two controlled phases flows in the uncontrolled phase.
This results for physical reasons in an asymmetric distribution of
the three phase currents during the motor ramp-up. This phenomenon cannot be influenced, but in most applications it is
non-critical.
method used for these soft starters eliminates these direct current components during the ramp-up phase and prevents the
braking torque which they can cause.
It creates a motor ramp-up that is uniform in speed, torque and
current rise, thus permitting a particularly gentle, two-phase
starting of the motors. At the same time the acoustic quality of
the starting operation comes close to the quality of a threephase controlled soft starter. This is made possible by the on-going dynamic harmonizing and balancing of current half-waves of
different polarity during the motor ramp-up. Hence the name
"polarity balancing".
• Soft starting with voltage ramp; the starting voltage setting
range Us is 40 % to 100 % and the ramp time tR can be set
from 0 s to 20 s.
• Integrated bypass contact system to minimize power loss
• Setting with two potentiometers
• Simple mounting and start-up
• Mains voltages at 50/60 Hz, 200 to 480 V
• Two control voltage versions 24 V AC/DC and
110 to 230 V AC/DC
• Wide temperature range from -25 °C to +60 °C
• The built-in auxiliary contact ensures user-friendly control and
possible further processing within the system
(for status graphs see Page 6/37)
Controlling the power semiconductors results not only in this
asymmetry, however, but also in the previously mentioned direct
current components which can cause severe noise generation
on the motor at starting voltages of less than 50 %. The control

Fuse assignment
The type of coordination to which the motor feeder with soft
starter is mounted depends on the application-specific requirements. Normally, fuseless mounting (combination of motor
starter protector/circuit breaker and soft starter) is sufficient.
If type of coordination "2" is to be fulfilled, semiconductor fuses
must be fitted in the motor feeder.

Configuration
Status graphs
If necessary, an overload relay for heavy starting must be selected where long starting times are involved. PTC sensors are
recommended.
In the motor feeder between the SIRIUS 3RW soft starter and the
motor, no capacitive elements are permitted (e.g. no reactivepower compensation equipment). In addition, neither static systems for reactive-power compensation nor dynamic PFC (Power
Factor Correction) must be operated in parallel during starting
and ramp-down of the soft starter. This is important to prevent
faults arising on the compensation equipment and/or the soft
starter.
All elements of the main circuit (such as fuses, controls and overload relays) should be dimensioned for direct starting, following
the local short-circuit conditions. Fuses, controls and overload
relays must be ordered separately. Please observe the maximum switching frequencies specified in the technical specifications.
Note:
When induction motors are switched on, voltage drops occur as
a rule on starters of all types (direct starters, wye-delta starters,
soft starters). The infeed transformer must always be dimensioned such that the voltage dip when starting the motor remains
within the permissible tolerance. If the infeed transformer is dimensioned with only a small margin, it is best for the control voltage to be supplied from a separate circuit (independently of the
main voltage) in order to avoid the potential switching off of the
soft starter.

The 3RW solid-state motor controllers are designed for easy
starting conditions. In the event of deviating conditions or increased switching frequency, it may be necessary to choose a
larger device. For accurate dimensioning, use the Win-Soft
Starter selection and simulation program.
Win-Soft Starter selection and simulation program
With this software, you can simulate and select all Siemens soft
starters, taking into account various parameters such as mains
properties, motor and load data, and special application
requirements.
The software is a valuable tool, which makes complicated,
lengthy manual calculations for determining the required soft
starters superfluous.
You can order the CD-ROM under the following order number:
Order No. E20001-D1020-P302-V2-7400.

■ Function
The space required by the compact SIRIUS 3RW40 soft starter
is often only about one third of that required by a contactor assembly for wye-delta starting of comparable rating. This not only
saves space in the control cabinet and on the standard mounting rail but also does away completely with the wiring work
needed for wye-delta starters. This is notable in particular for
higher motor ratings which are only rarely available as fully wired
solutions.
At the same time the number of cables from the starter to the
motor is reduced from six to three. Compact dimensions, short
start-up times, easy wiring and fast commissioning make
themselves felt as clear-cut cost advantages.
The bypass contacts of these soft starters are protected during
operation by an integrated solid-state arc quenching system.
This prevents damage to the bypass contacts in the event of a
fault, e.g. brief disconnection of the control voltage, mechanical
shocks or life-related component defects on the coil operating
mechanism or main contact spring.
6
The starting current of particularly powerful operating mechanisms can place an unjustifiable load on the local supply system.
Soft starters reduce this starting current by means of their voltage ramp. Thanks to the adjustable current limiting, the SIRIUS
3RW40 soft starter takes even more pressure off the supply system. It leaves the set start ramp during the ramp-up – the ramp
gradient is fixed by the starting voltage and the ramp time – as
soon as the selected current limit is reached. From this moment
the voltage of the soft starter is controlled so that the current supplied to the motor remains constant. This process is ended either
by completion of the motor ramp-up or by tripping by the intrinsic device protection or the motor overload protection. As the result of this function the actual motor ramp-up can well take
longer than the ramp time selected on the soft starter.
Thanks to the integrated motor overload protection according to
IEC 60947-4-2 there is no need of an additional overload relay
on the new soft starters. The rated motor current, the setting of
the overload tripping time (Class times) and the reset of the motor overload protection function can be adjusted easily and
quickly. Using a 4-step rotary potentiometer it is possible to set
different overload tripping times on the soft starter. In addition to
Class 10, 15 and 20 it is also possible to switch off the motor
overload protection if a different motor management control device is to be used for this function, e.g. with connection to
PROFIBUS.
Device versions with thermistor motor protection evaluation are
available up to a rating of 55 kW (at 400 V). A "Thermoclick" measuring probe can be connected directly, as can a PTC of type A.
Thermal overloading of the motor, open circuits and short-circuits in the sensor circuit all result in the direct disconnection of
the soft starter. And if ever the soft starter trips, various reset options are available the same as with intrinsic device protection
and motor load protection: manually with the reset button, automatically or remotely through brief disconnection of the control
voltage.
The new series of devices comes with the "polarity balancing"
control method, which is designed to prevent direct current components in two-phase controlled soft starters. On two-phase
controlled soft starters the current resulting from superimposition
of the two controlled phases flows in the uncontrolled phase.
This results for physical reasons in an asymmetric distribution of
the three phase currents during the motor ramp-up. This phenomenon cannot be influenced, but in most applications it is
non-critical.
6/38
Siemens LV 1 N · 04/2008
Controlling the power semiconductors results not only in this
asymmetry, however, but also in the previously mentioned direct
current components which can cause severe noise generation
on the motor at starting voltages of less than 50 %.
The control method used for these soft starters eliminates these
direct current components during the ramp-up phase and prevents the braking torque which they can cause. It creates a motor ramp-up that is uniform in speed, torque and current rise,
thus permitting a particularly gentle, two-phase starting of the
motors. At the same time the acoustic quality of the starting operation comes close to the quality of a three-phase controlled
soft starter. This is made possible by the on-going dynamic harmonizing and balancing of current half-waves of different polarity during the motor ramp-up. Hence the name "polarity balancing".
As an option the thyristors can also be protected by SITOR semiconductor fuses from short-circuiting so that the soft starter is
still functional after a short-circuit (coordination type 2). Three
LEDs are used to indicate the operating state as well as possible
errors, e.g. non-permissible tripping time (CLASS setting),
mains or phase failure, missing load, thermal overloading or device faults.

Fuse assignment
The type of coordination to which the motor feeder with soft
starter is mounted depends on the application-specific requirements. Normally, fuseless mounting (combination of motor
starter protector/circuit breaker and soft starter) is sufficient. If
type of coordination "2" is to be fulfilled, semiconductor fuses
must be fitted in the motor feeder.

Win-Soft Starter selection and simulation program
With this software, you can simulate and select all Siemens soft
starters, taking into account various parameters such as mains
properties, motor and load data, and special application
requirements.
The software is a valuable tool, which makes complicated,
lengthy manual calculations for determining the required soft
starters superfluous.
You can order the CD-ROM under the following order number:
Order No. E20001-D1020-P302-V2-7400.
You can find more information on the Internet at:
http://www.siemens.com/softstarter

Note:
When induction motors are switched on, voltage drops occur as
a rule on starters of all types (direct starters, wye-delta starters,
soft starters). The infeed transformer must always be dimensioned such that the voltage dip when starting the motor remains
within the permissible tolerance. If the infeed transformer is dimensioned with only a small margin, it is best for the control voltage to be supplied from a separate circuit (independently of the
main voltage) in order to avoid the potential switching off of the
soft starter.
U
UN
NSB0_01486
The 3RW solid-state soft starters are designed for easy starting
conditions. In the event of deviating conditions or increased
switching frequency, it may be necessary to choose a larger
device. For accurate dimensioning, use the Win-Soft Starter selection and simulation program.
Where long starting times are involved, the integrated solid-state
overload relay for heavy starting should not be disconnected.
PTC sensors are recommended. This also applies for the smooth
ramp-down because during the ramp-down time an additional
current loading applies in contrast to free ramp-down.
In the case of high switching frequencies in S4 mode, Siemens
recommends the use of PTC sensors. For corresponding device
versions with integrated thermistor motor protection or separate
thermistor evaluation devices see Catalog LV 1.
In the motor feeder between the SIRIUS 3RW soft starter and the
motor, no capacitive elements are permitted (e.g. no reactivepower compensation equipment). In addition, neither static
systems for reactive-power compensation nor dynamic PFC
(Power Factor Correction) must be operated in parallel during
starting and ramp-down of the soft starter. This is important to
prevent faults arising on the compensation equipment and/or the
soft starter.
All elements of the main circuit (such as fuses and controls)
should be dimensioned for direct starting, following the local
short-circuit conditions. Fuses, controls and overload relays
must be ordered separately. Please observe the maximum
switching frequencies specified in the technical specifications.

A bypass contact system and solid-state overload relay are
already integrated in the 3RW40 soft starter and therefore do not
have to be ordered separately.

■ Overview
SIRIUS ES engineering software (E-SW)
The programs of the SIRIUS ES software family enable:
• Clear and easily manageable setting of device functions and
their parameters – online and offline
• Efficient diagnostics functions and display of all key measured
values
• Time saving through shorter start-up times
The SIRIUS ES programs such as Motor Starter ES, Soft Starter
ES and SIMOCODE ES are available in three versions which
differ in user-friendliness, scope of functions and price (for details see the descriptions of the individual products).

In addition to device-specific parameterization, the programs of
the SIRIUS ES software family also provide the following functionality in a uniform look and feel. These functions are available
in many SIRIUS ES programs.
• Standard-conform printouts:
The programs of the SIRIUS ES software family make machine
documentation far easier. Parameterization printouts according to EN ISO 7200 are possible. The elements to be printed
are easy to select and compile as required.
• Easy creating of typicals:
Typicals can be created for devices and applications with parameters which differ only slightly. These typicals contain all
the parameters needed for the parameterization. In addition it
is possible to specify which of these parameters are fixed default values and which can still be adapted by the start-up engineer.
• Group function:
For the user-friendly parameterization of numerous devices or
applications of the same type, the programs of the SIRIUS ES
software family provide a group function which enables the
parameterization of several devices to be read out or written
through PROFIBUS. In conjunction with typicals it is even possible to selectively adapt the parameters in any number of parameterizations.
• Teleservice via MPI:
The premium versions of the SIRIUS ES software family support the use of MPI Teleservice (consisting of the Teleservice
software and various Teleservice adapters) for remote diagnostics of the devices. This facilitates diagnostics and maintenance and shortens the response time for service purposes.

Graphic presentation of measured values with the trace function
(oscilloscope function) of Soft Starter ES 2007 Standard and Premium
Soft Starter ES 2007
Soft Starter ES software enables the quick and easy parameterization, monitoring and service-related diagnostics of SIRIUS
3RW44 High Feature soft starters . The device parameters can
be set directly on the PC and transferred through a serial cable
or optional PROFIBUS connection to the soft starter.
The advantages of Soft Starter ES:
• Clear and easily manageable setting of device functions and
their parameters – online and offline
• Effective diagnostics function of the soft starter and display of
all key measured values
• Trace function (oscilloscope function) for recording measured
values and events (in the Soft Starter ES Standard and Premium software versions)

More functions
• Standard-conform printouts
The software tool makes machine documentation far easier.
Parameterization printouts according to EN ISO 7200 are possible. The elements to be printed are easy to select and compile as required.
• Easy creating of typicals
Typicals can be created for devices and applications with parameters which differ only slightly. These typicals contain all
the parameters needed for the parameterization. In addition it
is possible to specify which of these parameters are fixed default values and which can still be adapted by the start-up engineer.
• Group function
For the user-friendly parameterization of numerous devices or
applications of the same type, the programs of the SIRIUS ES
software family provide a group function which enables the
parameterization of several devices to be read out or written
through PROFIBUS. In conjunction with typicals it is even possible to selectively adapt the parameters in any number of parameterizations.
• Teleservice via MPI
The Soft Starter ES premium version supports the use of MPI
Teleservice (consisting of the Teleservice software and various
Teleservice adapters) for remote diagnostics of the devices.
This facilitates diagnostics and maintenance and shortens the
response time for service purposes.

Motor Starter ES for parameterization, monitoring, diagnostics and
testing of motor starters
Motor Starter ES is used for start-up, parameterization, diagnostics, documentation and the preventative maintenance of the
High-Feature motor starters of the SIMATIC ET 200S, ET 200pro
and ECOFAST product families.
Interfacing is performed
• either through the local interface on the device (applicable to
ET 200S/ET 200pro/ECOFAST) or
• with PROFIBUS DP V1 capable motor starters from any point
in PROFIBUS (applies for ET 200pro/ECOFAST).
Using Motor Starter ES, the communication-capable motor starters are easily parameterized during start-up, monitored during
normal operation and successfully diagnosed for service purposes. Preventative maintenance is supported by a function for
reading out diverse statistical data (e.g. operating hours, operating cycles, cut-off currents, etc.). The user is supported during
these procedures with comprehensive Help functions and plain
text displays.
Motor Starter ES can either be used as a stand-alone program
or it can be integrated into STEP 7 V5.1 SP3 upwards using an
object manager.
