  • Current Monitoring Relays: Essential for monitoring current during operation, with specific activation and deactivation procedures.
Procedures and Recommendations:
  • For 3RW30 soft starters, activate the current monitoring relay via an upstream timing relay after the soft start phase.
  • For 3RW40 soft starters, control the relay via the BYPASS output for ramp-up detection.
  • Terminal supports are necessary for stand-alone assembly to use current monitoring relays effectively.
Starter Combinations:
  • Size S0: Combines motor starter protectors, 3RW30 soft starters, and current monitoring relays.
  • Size S2: Includes motor starter protectors, contactors, and overload relays, with options for fuseless assembly up to 37 kW.
  • Size S3: Designed for up to 55 kW, featuring motor starter protectors, contactors, and soft starters with or without overload protection.
Key Parameters and Limitations:
  • Standard switching capacity is 65 kA at 400 V, with an increased capacity option of 100 kA.
  • Specific configurations require mounting rail adapters or mounting plates.
  • Current monitoring relays should not be active during the starting and stopping phases.
Conclusion: The document provides comprehensive guidelines for selecting and configuring motor starter protectors, soft starters, and current monitoring relays for various industrial applications, emphasizing adherence to specified procedures for optimal performance and safety.
