The overload release is thermal — it uses a bimetallic strip heated by the motor current. This is the traditional, field-proven method that tracks the motor's thermal state without needing a separate power supply for the protection circuit. It compensates for ambient temperature changes between -40 and +60 °C, so the trip point stays accurate whether the panel is in a cold warehouse or a warm machine room. ## Wiring and panel fit — spring-loaded terminals, no screw torque to chase This speeds up panel wiring — no screwdriver torque check, no loosening under vibration — and the connection stays gas-tight over thermal cycling. The auxiliary switch is integrated, so you don't need a separate block for the tripped signal. Size S00 is the smallest SIRIUS frame, so it fits in crowded control cabinets where every millimetre of rail space counts. ## Rated motor power and auxiliary contact capacity At 400 V rated value the relay is rated for 2.2 kW motor power; at 500 V it handles 3 kW; at 690 V it handles 4 kW. This covers direct connection to a PLC input or a contactor coil without an interposing relay in most panels. ## Lifecycle and sourcing — current production, no obsolescence worry For a maintenance planner: this is a relay you can stock one-in-the-cabinet for a 400 V motor line and know it will be available when you need it. No spare, no sleep — but with this part, you can sleep.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RU2116-1GC1 SIRIUS Overload Relay, CLASS 10, S00","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RU2116-1GC1 SIRIUS thermal overload relay, CLASS 10, size S00, 2.2 kW at 400 V.

This 'tripped' signal is used by a PLC, HMI, or indicator lamp to show that the motor has been stopped by the overload protection, rather than by a normal stop command. It's a standard feature for remote fault annunciation."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RU2116-1GC1?","answer":"The 3RU2116-1GC1 carries a substance prohibition date of 10/01/2009, indicating compliance with RoHS and REACH requirements as of that date. The relay is designed for use in industrial control panels and meets the relevant IEC and EN standards for thermal overload relays. Full declarations and certificates are available from Siemens upon request."},{"question":"How can I order 3RU2116-1GC1 and check availability?","answer":"The 3RU2116-1GC1 is sourced to order against your BOM through independent industrial distribution.
