Product details

It mounts directly to a contactor or stands alone, and its thermal bimetallic release tracks motor heating with temperature compensation from -40 to +60 °C — meaning the trip point stays stable whether the panel is in a cold warehouse or a hot NEMA enclosure next to a furnace. Rated insulation voltage is 690 V, and the relay is rated for motor loads up to 30 kW at 400 V (AC-3e duty), 37 kW at 500 V, and 55 kW at 690 V. The 57 A current rating at 480 V and 600 V confirms its place in North American 480 V systems as well as IEC 400 V installations.

The integrated auxiliary switch (1 N/O + 1 N/C, flagged by the 'Tripped' message) carries 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. The 24 V 2 A rating is the one most PLC input cards will see — it comfortably drives a 24 VDC relay or a digital input module, provided the total loop draw stays under that figure. At 120 VAC the 3 A rating handles a typical motor-starter pilot light or alarm annunciator. The 0.75 A at 690 V is for the rare case where the auxiliary feeds a 690 V control transformer; most panels never see that.

Dimensions are 55 mm wide, 105 mm tall, 117 mm deep — the S2 footprint. It mounts in any position, stand-alone or ganged to a SIRIUS contactor. Main circuit terminals accept 2 x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2 x (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) solid or stranded copper, terminated with a Pozidriv PZ2 screwdriver (shaft diameter 5 to 6 mm). The M6 screw on the main contacts is common for this frame size; torque it to the manufacturer's spec, not by feel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Class 10 trip characteristic for this overload relay?

Class 10 means the relay will trip within 10 seconds at 600% of the current setting. This is the standard for standard-duty motor starting — it lets the motor accelerate under load without nuisance tripping, provided the start time stays under 10 seconds.

What motor power can this relay handle at 400 V?

At 400 V AC-3e duty, the 3RU2136-4QB1 is rated for 30 kW. At 500 V it handles 37 kW, and at 690 V it handles 55 kW. For North American 480 V systems the current rating is 57 A.

Where can I buy the 3RU2136-4QB1 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.

What is the 'Tripped' message noted on this relay?

The note 'for message Tripped' refers to the auxiliary switch contact that changes state when the relay has tripped on overload. It provides a remote indication — typically wired to a PLC input or alarm panel — that the relay has operated and needs manual reset.
