Product details

Thermal Overload Relay for Motor Protection

It is a standalone-mount unit with screw-type terminals for the main circuit, accepting 2x (0.5...1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.75...2.5 mm²) solid or stranded wire. Rated voltage is 690 V, with corresponding motor power ratings of 7.5 kW at 400 V, 11 kW at 500 V, and 15 kW at 690 V. At 480 V and 600 V the current rating is 20 A. The auxiliary switch is integrated and carries the following contact ratings: 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 values you'd use for the trip-indication circuit back to the PLC or annunciator.

The relay measures 97 mm high, 45 mm wide, and 95 mm deep — the S0 footprint that drops into a standard motor starter assembly or stands alone on a panel plate. Main circuit terminals accept M4 screws; the screwdriver spec is Pozidriv PZ2 with a 5–6 mm shaft diameter.

Frequently asked questions

What is the note 'for message Tripped' on the 3RU2126-4BB1?

The note indicates that the auxiliary contact configuration is wired to signal a 'Tripped' condition — the integrated auxiliary switch changes state when the relay has operated due to overload or phase failure, providing a dry contact for the control system.

How does the 3RU2126-4BB1 compare to the 3RU2116-1FC1?

The 3RU2116-1FC1 is a smaller S00-frame relay with lower current ranges and a different trip class. The 3RU2126-4BB1 is the S0-frame version with higher power ratings (7.5 kW at 400 V vs. lower) and a Class 10 trip characteristic. They are not direct drop-in replacements due to different frame sizes and terminal layouts.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for the 3RU2126-4BB1?

The relay carries a substance prohibition date of October 1, 2009, indicating RoHS compliance. Standard Siemens documentation includes a CE declaration of conformity and the product datasheet with full technical specifications.
