The Siemens 3RB1015-2RB0 is an electronic overload relay from the SIRIUS 3RB1 series, sized for motor protection in the 0.1 to 0.4 A range. It's a class 20 device, meaning it allows up to 20 seconds of locked-rotor current before tripping — a good match for standard induction motors starting unloaded or with low-inertia loads like pumps and small conveyors. The screw terminals and manual-only reset keep the wiring and fault-recovery simple; no auto-reset option here, so once it trips someone has to go clear the fault and push the button.
The 0.1...0.4 A range covers fractional-horsepower motors — think small fans, agitators, or coolant pumps. Class 20 trip curve is the workhorse for most general-purpose three-phase motors; it rides through the inrush without nuisance tripping as long as the motor isn't starting under a heavy load. The size S00 footprint means it mounts directly onto a S00 contactor, saving DIN-rail space in a compact panel. Manual reset only: that's a deliberate choice for applications where an automatic restart after an overload could be a safety issue — a conveyor or a machine guard that needs a person to inspect before restarting.
