3.2.1  Device versions 
Solid-state switching devices are primarily used in single-phase applications which have to 
meet the following requirements:  
●  Very high switching frequencies (> 1,000 switching operations per hour) 
●  Resistive loads 
 
The SIRIUS modular system features single- and three-phase solid-state contactors and 
solid-state relays for the frequent switching of resistive loads. Three-phase solid-state 
contactors and solid-state reversing contactors are available for switching motorized loads. 
Standardized function modules for various applications complete the range of SIRIUS solid-
state switching devices.  
The solid-state contactor and solid-state reversing contactor versions listed in this manual 
are intended specifically for operation on three-phase motors up to 7.5 kW. 
You can find more detailed information in the appendix More information (Page 758). 
Overview 
These 2-phase controlled instantaneous switching solid-state switching devices are operated 
in two mounting widths in an insulating enclosure:  
●  In 45 mm width 
–  Up to 5.2 A as solid-state contactor (motor contactor) or 
–  Up to 5.4 A as solid-state reversing contactor and 
●  In 90 mm width 
–  Up to 16 A as solid-state contactor or 
–  Up to 7.4 A as solid-state reversing contactor 
This means that it is possible to operate motors up to 7.5 kW.  
The solid-state contactors and solid-state reversing contactors can be connected directly to a 
motor starter protector with a 3RA2921-1BA00 link module. Direct mounting of a 
3RB30/3RB31 solid-state overload relay and, in some cases, a 3RR2 current monitoring 
relay, is also possible. This provides a time-saving way of implementing rapid-switching 
motor feeders with and without fuses.
