Sirius Motor Protection & Starters — Available Products

Overview

Siemens SIRIUS motor protection and starting devices are catalogued here as one line covering circuit protection and soft starting for motor feeders. The family holds 58 catalogued part numbers organised in three series.

Series in this family

  • 3RV Motor Protection Circuit Breakers — 34 catalogued parts across the 3RV0, 3RV1 and 3RV2 generations.
  • 3RW Soft Starters — 24 catalogued parts across 3RW2, 3RW3, 3RW4 and 3RW5.
  • 3RH/3RT Contactors (Sirius) — the switching devices that complete a SIRIUS feeder; no parts catalogued in this series at present, and the contactor catalogue lives in the separate SIRIUS Contactors family.

By classification the catalogued parts fall into Circuit Breakers (26), Soft Starters (24) and Motor Protection Circuit Breakers (8). SIRIUS order numbers follow strict generation logic, so read the full 3RV or 3RW number from the device before selecting a replacement, and send it with a quote request if it is not catalogued here.
