The Siemens 3RP1525-1BP30 is a SIRIUS ON-delay timing relay — a single-function timer that starts its delay when the supply voltage is applied and switches its relay output after the set time elapses. The adjustable time range covers 0.05 to 100 s, set via a front-panel potentiometer or DIP switches. The control supply is 200-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. The relay output is rated for a thermal current of 5 A, with switching capacities of 1 A at 24 V, 0.2 A at 125 V, and 0.1 A at 250 V. That means it's sized for signal-level loads — PLC inputs, contactor coils, indicator lamps — not motor circuits. The recovery time between cycles is 150 ms, so it can recycle faster than many electromechanical timers.
The tightening torque for the screw terminals is 0.8-1.2 N·m, accepting stranded or solid wire from 20 to 14 AWG. Clearance around the unit is zero in all directions — upwards, forwards, backwards, downwards, and to the side — so no extra spacing is needed between adjacent devices on the rail. That's a practical advantage when packing multiple relays into a single panel row.
