Product details

Siemens 3RU2116-1AC1 SIRIUS Thermal Overload Relay

The Siemens 3RU2116-1AC1 is a SIRIUS-brand thermal overload relay, size S00, designed for motor protection in control panels. The relay mounts in any position and uses spring-loaded terminals for the main circuit, accepting 2x (0.5... 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire.

Rated insulation voltage is 690 V, with AC-3e rated maximum at the same 690 V — this relay is suitable for 400 V, 480 V, 500 V, and 690 V motor circuits. Motor power ratings are given at several voltages: 0.55 kW at 400 V, 0.75 kW at 500 V, and 1.1 kW at 690 V. The integrated auxiliary switch (one N/O + one N/C) carries 2 A at 24 V, 2 A at 230 V, 1 A at 400 V, and 3 A at 120 V — enough to signal a trip to a PLC input or drop out a contactor coil. Power loss per pole is 1.9 W, which matters for thermal buildup in a crowded panel.

Deployment Context

This relay is designed for stand-alone installation — it does not require a separate base or contactor mounting. Temperature compensation is active from -40 to +60 °C, so the trip curve stays accurate across the operating range of most industrial enclosures.

Frequently asked questions

What is the note 'for message Tripped' on this relay?

The note 'for message Tripped' indicates that the auxiliary switch integrated into the relay provides a signal contact that changes state when the overload relay trips, allowing a PLC or indicator to read the trip condition.

What is the depth of the 3RU2116-1AC1?

The depth is 79 mm.

Will 3RU2116-1AC1 drop into a panel specified around 3RU2116-1FC1 without rewiring?

Both relays share the same S00 frame size, mounting footprint, and main-circuit terminal layout, so the mechanical fit is identical. However, the auxiliary contact configuration may differ — verify the control wiring before swapping.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for 3RU2116-1AC1?

The part carries a substance prohibitance date of 10/01/2009, indicating RoHS compliance. Standard Siemens documentation includes the declaration of conformity for the applicable EU directives (Low Voltage, EMC) and the CE mark.

Where can I buy 3RU2116-1AC1 and get current pricing?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.
