Product details

The Siemens 3RB2046-1EB0 is a SIRIUS solid-state overload relay — the part that sits between your contactor and motor, watching current and tripping on overload before the winding gets cooked. That's the standard speed for most general-purpose motor starts — fast enough to protect, slow enough to let an induction motor get up to speed. That saves panel space, but it also means you pick your contactor first, then this relay clips onto it.

Depth is 124 mm, width 70 mm, height 106 mm. Solid conductor range for main circuit is 0.5 to 4 mm². The auxiliary contact ratings are given at several voltages — for instance, 2 A at 24 V, 4 A at 120 V, 3 A at 230 V. That's the switching capacity of the built-in signal contact, so if you're feeding a PLC input at 24 V, you've got 2 A to work with — plenty for a typical digital input card. At 230 V it drops to 3 A, which is still fine for a contactor coil or indicator lamp.

This relay carries ATEX approval PTB 06 ATEX 3001 Ex II (2) GD. The 100 % relative humidity rating during operation means it can handle condensing environments — think washdown areas or outdoor cabinets in humid climates, as long as the enclosure keeps direct water off it. Shock resistance is 15 g for 11 ms, so it's fine for mounting on a machine frame that sees vibration.

Frequently asked questions

What compliance documentation does 3RB2046-1EB0 carry?

It carries ATEX approval PTB 06 ATEX 3001 Ex II (2) GD, RoHS compliance (substance prohibition date 07/01/2006), surge voltage resistance rated 8 kV, and IEC 61000-4-4 burst immunity at severity level 3. The product brand is SIRIUS by Siemens.

What is the depth of the 3RB2046-1EB0?

The depth is 124 mm, width 70 mm, height 106 mm. That depth is the overall dimension including the relay body — important for enclosure depth clearance.

What wire sizes does the 3RB2046-1EB0 accept?

For the main current circuit, solid conductors from 0.5 to 4 mm² (or 2 × 0.5 to 2.5 mm²) and stranded from 10 to 70 mm². Auxiliary and control circuits use screw terminals accepting 0.5 to 4 mm² solid or 0.5 to 2.5 mm² finely stranded with ferrule.
