More Information

Overview Manuals RUN Input Ramp Controls Status Outputs Setup Checks

Features:

  • The 230 V RUN circuit starts the programmed soft-start sequence.
  • Ramp and initial-voltage controls define how the 3RW34 power section changes motor voltage.
  • Status LEDs and an isolated user output separate local indication from external reporting.
A valid RUN input is evaluated before the selected start ramp is applied.

Stop behavior depends on the selected ramp and wiring arrangement rather than the command alone.

Fault and delay switches coordinate controller response with the connected starter circuit.

The Siemens 3RW3950-6DC48 SIKOSTART 3RW34 Control Section may remain available for quotation and support beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Separating a valid start command from the inactive state

  • Command source: The external control circuit applies the 230 V AC RUN signal.
  • ON threshold: Voltage and current must exceed the documented minimum values.
  • OFF threshold: Residual voltage and current must stay below the documented limits.
  • Isolation: The control input remains electrically separated from the user output circuit.

Coordinating voltage buildup and motor acceleration

  • Initial voltage: The starting point is set before the ramp begins.
  • Start time: The selected interval controls how long the voltage rise takes.
  • Stop time: The stopping ramp governs the commanded voltage reduction.
  • Motor response: Load torque and motor current are checked against the chosen settings.

Relating local indicators to external controller status

  • LED 1: Ready, phase-loss and EEPROM conditions share the first indication path.
  • LED 2: Full-voltage, start-stop and shorted-SCR states use the second path.
  • User output: The isolated output transfers its assigned condition to external monitoring.
  • Circuit limit: Make, break and continuous current ratings apply to the connected load.

Restoring the complete starter configuration after service

  • Control voltage: The replacement section must match the 230 V AC control circuit.
  • Wiring mode: Switch selection must agree with the actual 3RW34 connection.
  • Fault behavior: The stored fault choice is compared with plant interlock requirements.
  • Functional test: RUN, ramp, full-voltage and stop states are observed in sequence.
Description
Siemens 3RW3950-6DC48 is the 230 V AC control section for the SIKOSTART 3RW34 soft-starter system. It receives the RUN command, shapes the start and stop sequence, and supervises the controller states used to bring a connected motor onto or away from the supply.

A RUN signal enters 3RW3950-6DC48 through the documented 230 V input circuit, where its voltage and current thresholds separate a valid command from the OFF state. The control section then applies the selected starting ramp and initial-voltage settings to the power section rather than switching the motor abruptly.

Front adjustments on 3RW3950-6DC48 coordinate start time, stop time, initial voltage, wiring mode, delay and fault behavior. These settings work together, so changing one parameter without checking the connected motor and the 3RW34 power circuit can alter both acceleration and stopping response.

Two status indicators on 3RW3950-6DC48 distinguish readiness and supply-related faults from full-voltage, start-stop and shorted-SCR conditions. The isolated user output transfers its assigned status to an external circuit while remaining separate from the RUN input path.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why does Siemens 3RW3950-6DC48 remain inactive when the RUN contact closes?
Measure the Siemens 3RW3950-6DC48 RUN input against its ON thresholds, then check control voltage, wiring mode, fault indication, and the connected 3RW34 power section.
Which settings should be recorded before replacing 3RW3950-6DC48?
Record the 3RW3950-6DC48 start time, stop time, initial voltage, delay, wiring mode, fault selection, terminal wiring, and observed LED states.
What does a flashing status indication mean on Siemens 3RW3950-6DC48?
Use the Siemens 3RW3950-6DC48 LED pattern together with the 3RW34 fault table to distinguish supply, phase, EEPROM, start-stop, full-voltage, or SCR conditions.
Can 3RW3950-6DC48 switch a large external load directly?
No. The 3RW3950-6DC48 user output must remain within its documented make, break and continuous-current limits; an interposing device is required when the load exceeds them.
Why can changing the initial voltage affect the start ramp on Siemens 3RW3950-6DC48?
The Siemens 3RW3950-6DC48 initial-voltage setting defines where the controlled voltage rise begins, so it changes the motor torque available during the programmed ramp.
