The note on this variant reads \"for message 'Tripped'\", meaning the auxiliary contact set provides a dedicated signal output when the relay has tripped, so a PLC or indicator can register the fault without ambiguity. It mounts directly onto a SIRIUS contactor (contactor mounting), saving panel space and eliminating interconnecting wiring between the relay and the contactor coil. The spring-loaded terminals on the main current circuit accept 2x (0.5... 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded conductors — tool-less, which speeds wiring on a build. That is the standard for standard-duty motor starting — pumps, fans, compressors that accelerate to full speed in a few seconds. If your motor has a longer start (high-inertia loads like a centrifuge), you need a Class 20 or 30 relay; this one is not for that. The power ratings at various line voltages are: 2.2 kW at 400 V, 3 kW at 500 V, 4 kW at 690 V. At 480 V and 600 V the current rating is 6.3 A. That tells you the motor FLA range this relay can protect — size your overload setting within the relay's adjustment range, not beyond it. Auxiliary contact ratings are given for several control voltages: 2 A at 24 V, 3 A at 120 V, 2 A at 230 V, 1 A at 400 V. The auxiliary switch is integrated, so no add-on block is needed. This relay is sized for the S00 frame — the smallest SIRIUS overload relay footprint. Temperature compensation is active from -40 to +60 °C, so the thermal curve stays accurate in a warm panel or a cold warehouse. Substance prohibitance date is 10/01/2009 — that is the RoHS compliance baseline (RoHS 2, Directive 2011/65/EU). The relay is also REACH compliant per the SVHC list. No UL or CSA mark is listed in the spec record, so if your panel requires a UL-listed overload relay, verify the specific UL file number with the factory or check the nameplate variant.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RU2116-1GC0-ZW97 SIRIUS thermal overload relay, S00","metaDescription":"Siemens SIRIUS 3RU2116-1GC0-ZW97 thermal overload relay, size S00, Trip Class 10, 690 V rated, spring-loaded terminals, current production.
