Product details

The relay is rated for a maximum operational voltage of 690 V, with an AC-3e rated value maximum of 690 V — this is the voltage class for standard three-phase motor circuits up to 690 V line-to-line. The motor power ratings are given at several common voltages: 3 kW at 400 V, 4 kW at 500 V, and 5.5 kW at 690 V. At 480 V and 600 V, the current rating is 8 A. These are the values you use for BOM matching: if your motor is 3 kW on a 400 V supply, this relay is correctly sized. The auxiliary switch is integrated and carries a note "for message 'Tripped'" — meaning the built-in auxiliary contact signals the tripped state, not just the normal/overload status. This is useful for PLC or HMI annunciation of a thermal trip without needing a separate auxiliary block. The switching capacity varies by voltage: 2 A at 24 V, 3 A at 120 V, 2 A at 230 V, 1 A at 400 V, and 0.75 A at 690 V. These are the maximums for the auxiliary contact; stay within them for reliable signalling. The relay has temperature compensation from -40 to +60 °C, meaning the trip curve stays accurate across that ambient range — important for panels in unconditioned spaces or near process heat. The MTTF with high demand rate is 2,280 years, which supports use in safety-related applications where reliability data is required for SIL calculations.

It mounts directly to a contactor (contactor mounting) in any position. The spring-loaded terminals accept 2 × (0.5 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire. For the auxiliary screw terminals, use a screwdriver with a 3 mm diameter shaft and a 3.0 × 0.5 mm tip. No DIN rail adapter is required if mating to a contactor; if used standalone, a separate mounting base is needed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the note 'for message Tripped' on the auxiliary contact?

The auxiliary switch is designed to signal the tripped state specifically — it changes state only when the relay has tripped on overload, not for normal on/off status. This allows a PLC or indicator to distinguish a thermal trip from a normal contactor open state.

Will the 3RU2116-1HC0 fit a panel designed for a 3RT1016-2AP02 contactor?

Yes, this overload relay is designed for contactor mounting and is the matching overload for the 3RT1016 contactor series (size S00). It mounts directly without additional hardware and shares the same footprint.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

The part has a substance prohibitance date of 10/01/2009, confirming RoHS compliance. As a Siemens SIRIUS product, it carries CE marking for the European market and UL/CSA certification for North America through the standard Siemens certification process.
