The Siemens 3RB2026-2RD0 is a SIRIUS solid-state overload relay for three-phase motor protection.
The ATEX approval (PTB 06 ATEX 3001 Ex II (2) GD) means this relay is certified for use in Zone 2 gas and Zone 22 dust hazardous areas when paired with an appropriate contactor — the (2) designation indicates it is associated apparatus, not installed in the hazardous zone itself, but suitable for protecting motors in those classified locations. The 6 kV surge voltage withstand (rated value) and 2 kV burst immunity on power ports (IEC 61000-4-4, severity level 3) mean it holds up in industrial panels with contactor switching and variable-frequency drive noise without nuisance trips. The 15g / 11 ms shock resistance and any mounting position flexibility make it practical for mobile equipment or panels subject to vibration — no derating needed for horizontal or inverted mounting.
