That gives the panel builder a dry-contact status back to a PLC input, annunciator lamp, or HMI without bolting on an extra auxiliary block. For a maintenance tech walking a line, that signal pinpoints which motor dropped off without opening the cabinet door. ## Trip class and motor protection timing That's the standard for general-purpose induction motors — the inrush during start clears before the thermal element accumulates enough heat to trip, but a locked-rotor condition gets caught fast enough to keep the winding insulation from cooking. The thermal overload release is temperature-compensated from -40 to +60 °C, so the trip curve doesn't drift when the panel ambient climbs on a summer afternoon or drops during a cold startup. That matters for a pump house or outdoor MCC where the internal cabinet temperature swings more than a climate-controlled server room. ## Panel fit and wiring — Size S00 with spring terminals Size S00 is the smallest SIRIUS overload relay footprint: 45 mm wide, 87 mm tall, 70 mm deep. It mounts directly onto the matching SIRIUS contactor (not on DIN rail) — the power connections pass through the contactor's own terminals, saving one wiring layer and a few inches of panel width. For a panel OEM packing multiple motor starters into a compact enclosure, that 45 mm per starter adds up fast. The auxiliary switch uses the same clamp style, so the whole relay wires with one tool.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3RU2116-1JC0-ZW97 SIRIUS Overload Relay, CLASS 10","metaDescription":"Siemens 3RU2116-1JC0-ZW97 SIRIUS thermal overload relay, CLASS 10, Size S00, 45 mm wide, spring-loaded terminals, for message 'Tripped' signaling.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Overload Relays"],"specifications":{"Note":"for message \"Tripped\"","Depth":"70 mm","Width":"45 mm","title":"3RU2116-1JC0-ZW97","Height":"87 mm","at 24 V":"2 A","at 60 V":"0.3 A","Per Pole":"2.2 W","at 110 V":"0.22 A","at 120 V":"3 A","at 125 V":"0.22 A","at 220 V":"0.11 A","at 230 V":"2 A","at 400 V":"1 A","Trip Class":"CLASS 10","Rated Value":"690 V","description":"Overload relay 7.0...10 A Thermal For motor protection Size S00, Class 10, Contactor mounting Auxiliary circuit: spring-type terminal Auxiliary circuit: spring-type terminal Manual-Automatic-Reset Multi-unit packaging Pack = 12 units","During Storage":"-55 ... +80 °C","lifecycle_stage":"current","During Operation":"-40 ... +70 °C","During Transport":"-55 ... +80 °C","Fastening Method":"Contactor mounting","Mounting Position":"any","Solid Or Stranded":"2x (0.5 ... 2.5 mm²)","Product Brand Name":"SIRIUS","Product Designation":"thermal overload relay","at 400 V rated value":"4 kW","at 480 V rated value":"10 A","at 500 V rated value":"5.5 kW","at 600 V rated value":"10 A","at 690 V rated value":"7.5 kW","Size Of Overload Relay":"S00","For Main Current Circuit":"spring-loaded terminals","Temperature Compensation":"-40 ... +60 °C","MTTF with high demand rate":"2 280 y","Design Of Screwdriver Shaft":"Diameter 3 mm","Size Of The Screwdriver Tip":"3,0 x 0,5 mm","at AC-3e rated value maximum":"690 V","Substance Prohibitance (Date)":"10/01/2009","Design Of The Auxiliary Switch":"integrated","Design Of The Overload Release":"thermal","Operating Frequency Rated Value":"50 ... 60 Hz","Operational Current Rated Value":"10 A","at AWG cables for main contacts":"1x (20 ... 12)","For Auxiliary And Control Circuit":"spring-loaded terminals","Between Main And Auxiliary Circuit":"440 V","Relative Humidity During Operation":"10 ... 95 %","Display Version For Switching Status":"Slide switch","Surge Voltage Resistance Rated Value":"6 kV","at AWG cables for auxiliary contacts":"2x (20 ... 14)","Between Auxiliary And Auxiliary Circuit":"440 V","reference code according to IEC 81346-2":"F","Finely Stranded With Core End Processing":"2x (0.5 ... 1.5 mm²), 2x (0.75 ... 2.5 mm²)","Number Of Poles For Main Current Circuit":"3","Finely Stranded Without Core End Processing":"2x (0.5 ... 1.5 mm²)","number of CO contacts for auxiliary contacts":"0","number of NC contacts for auxiliary contacts":"1","number of NO contacts for auxiliary contacts":"1","shock resistance according to IEC 60068-2-27":"8g / 11 ms","operational current at AC-3e at 400 V rated value":"10 A","Size Of Contactor Can Be Combined Company-Specific":"S00","contact rating of auxiliary contacts according to UL":"B600 / R300","Installation Altitude At Height Above Sea Level Maximum":"2 000 m","Arrangement Of Electrical Connectors For Main Current Circuit":"Top and bottom","For Short-Circuit Protection Of The Auxiliary Switch Required":"fuse gG: 6 A, quick: 10 A","insulation voltage with degree of pollution 3 at AC rated value":"690 V","Product Component Removable Terminal For Auxiliary And Control Circuit":"No","power loss [W] for rated value of the current at AC in hot operating state":"6.6 W","Adjustable Current Response Value Current Of The Current-Dependent Overload Release":"7 ... 10 A"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":null,"stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/9c1031d1b7a7cd86362761cb43d97b83.pdf","sourceUrl":"https://support.industry.siemens.com/webbackend/api/ProductSupport/TechnicalData?language=en&region=cn&productId=689159&mlfb=3RU2116-1JC0-ZW97"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What does the 'for message Tripped' note on the 3RU2116-1JC0-ZW97 mean?","answer":"It means this variant includes an integrated auxiliary switch that closes a separate signal circuit when the overload relay trips.
