3RA2 load feeders are climate-proof. They are designed for use in enclosed spaces in which no severe operating conditions prevail (e.g. dust, caustic vapors, hazardous gases). If they are to be installed in dusty or damp rooms, suitable enclosures must be provided. SIRIUS - SIRIUS 3RA load feeders Manual, 09/2016, A5E03656507520A/RS-AB/003...
Product combinations The SIRIUS modular system supports the assembly of load feeders for a whole variety of requirements. The individual devices which can be combined are matched to one another from both an electrical and a mechanical point of view.
The trip class on all pre-assembled 3RA2 feeders is CLASS 10. Self-assembled load feeders Thanks to the flexible SIRIUS modular system, load feeders can be assembled for the most diverse requirements. These load feeders can be fuseless or fused. Load feeders for starting motors can be assembled for the following startup types, for example: ●...
