Product details

CLASS 10 trip and the "Tripped" message

The 3RU2116-1DC0-ZW97: That's the standard speed for general-purpose motor starting where the start-up transient doesn't exceed a few seconds. The note "for message 'Tripped'" on this variant means the auxiliary contact configuration is wired to signal a trip condition back to the PLC or annunciator, rather than directly dropping out the contactor coil.

S00 frame mounts direct to contactor

Size S00 frame — 45 mm wide, 87 mm tall, 70 mm deep — mounts directly onto the matching SIRIUS contactor via the fastening method listed as "contactor mounting." No DIN rail bracket needed; the relay clips onto the contactor's front face, saving one DIN rail position per motor branch. No screw torque to verify — push the stripped wire in and the cage clamps it. The screwdriver shaft diameter is 3 mm with a 3.0 x 0.5 mm tip for the release slot if you need to open the clamp.

Thermal design and ambient compensation

The overload release is thermal — a bimetallic strip bends with heat from the motor current. Temperature compensation from -40 to +60 °C keeps the trip curve accurate across the panel's ambient range, so a hot panel doesn't cause nuisance tripping. Power dissipation per pole is 1.9 W at rated current. For a three-pole relay that's 5.7 W total — negligible for panel thermal budgeting, but worth noting if the enclosure is sealed and densely packed. Mounting position is any orientation.

Active production — sourced per RFQ

Sourced through authorized distribution channels against your BOM quantity. MTTF with high demand rate is 2,280 years — essentially a fit-and-forget component in the motor branch circuit. The relay is designed for the full service life of the panel.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 'Tripped' message mean on this overload relay?

The 'Tripped' note indicates the auxiliary contact configuration is wired to signal a trip condition — the relay has operated due to an overload.

What is the physical size of 3RU2116-1DC0-ZW97?

Size S00 frame: 45 mm wide, 87 mm tall, 70 mm deep. Mounts directly onto the matching SIRIUS contactor — no DIN rail required.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this relay?

The evidence lists a substance prohibitance date of 10/01/2009, indicating RoHS compliance. Standard Siemens SIRIUS documentation includes CE, UL, CSA, and IEC certifications — request the specific declaration at quote time.
