FAQs

Q1: What is the primary function of the 3RW5073-2TB15?
It is a soft starter for smooth starting and stopping of three-phase asynchronous motors. It reduces starting current peaks, prevents supply voltage fluctuations, and minimizes mechanical stress on driven equipment. The integrated bypass allows a very compact construction, saves energy, and ensures low heat dissipation in the control cabinet.
Q2: What is the difference between the 3RW50 and 3RW52/3RW55 series?
The 3RW50 is the Basic Performance series, offering two-phase control with hybrid switching technology for standard applications up to 315 kW. The 3RW52 (General Performance) and 3RW55 (High Performance/Failsafe) series offer additional features such as three-phase control, torque control, and integrated safety functions (STO). The 3RW50 replaces the older 3RW40 series (size S6 to S12).
Q3: Does this soft starter include motor overload protection?
Yes. The 3RW5073-2TB15 includes integrated electronic motor overload protection without additional wiring. The trip class is adjustable, and intelligent monitoring functions protect the soft starter against overheating and the motor against overload.
Q4: What is the "Soft Torque" function?
The Soft Torque function ensures that the motor is started gently by optimizing the torque profile during the starting phase. This reduces mechanical stress on the driven equipment and extends the lifespan of belts, gears, and couplings — especially valuable for pump and conveyor applications.
Q5: What communication options are available for this soft starter?
The 3RW50 series supports optional plug-in communication modules for PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP. Without a communication module, the device can be parameterized via potentiometers. Various HMI modules are also available for installation in the control cabinet door.
