The Siemens 3RB3036-2UX1 is a SIRIUS solid-state overload relay in Size S2, rated for 50 A thermal current at up to 690 V. Its electronic overload release uses straight-through transformers for the main current circuit, with Trip Class 20E — meaning it allows a 20-second thermal overload before tripping, sized for standard motor start profiles on pumps, fans, and conveyors without nuisance trips during acceleration. The auxiliary switch is integrated, and the relay signals a "tripped" message via the 97/98 contact. Switching capacity varies by voltage: 2 A at 24 V, 4 A at 120 V, 3 A at 230 V, and 0.3 A at 125 V — enough to drive a PLC input or indicator lamp directly.
Compliance documentation includes RoHS substance prohibition dated October 15, 2014, and the relay is designed to IEC standards for vibration (1–6 Hz, 15 mm; 6–500 Hz, 20 m/s²) and shock (15g / 11 ms per IEC 60068-2-27).
The screw terminals accept 2x (0.25–1.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire, terminated with a Pozidriv PZ2 driver (shaft diameter 5–6 mm).
