The Siemens 3RU2136-4JB0-Z W96 is a thermal overload relay for motor protection, rated 54-65 A and built to Class 10 trip characteristics — meaning it will open the circuit within 10 seconds at 7.2× the set current, fast enough to protect standard induction motors during a locked-rotor event without nuisance tripping on normal starts. The manual-automatic-reset selector gives the commissioning engineer a choice: auto-restart for remote/unattended installations, or manual reset so a maintenance tech must physically clear the fault before restart.
RoHS compliance is confirmed from October 2014 onward.
Integration notes
The relay sits on the contactor's Size S2 mounting interface; no additional DIN-rail bracket required if the contactor is already rail-mounted. Pack dimensions (60 × 60 × 50 mm) give a rough idea of the envelope, but the actual installed height depends on the contactor it couples to.
