Product details

The auxiliary switch — integrated, not a bolt-on — is rated 2 A at 24 V, 3 A at 120 V, and 1 A at 400 V, which governs compatibility with the PLC input or contactor coil it drives; at 24 VDC the 2 A rating handles most small relay coils, but verify inrush if piloting a larger contactor directly. Power dissipation per pole is 5.1 W at full load. The relay fastens to the contactor via M8 screws, not a DIN rail — the footprint is defined by the contactor it mates with, so verify the contactor frame size matches the S3 form factor.

Dimensions: 70 mm wide, 105 mm high, 125 mm deep. The depth is the key constraint in shallow enclosures — 125 mm from the mounting surface to the furthest terminal point. Main circuit terminals accept solid 2x (2.5…16 mm²) or stranded 2x (6…16 mm²), 2x (10…50 mm²), or 1x (10…70 mm²). Auxiliary terminals take 2x (0.5…2.5 mm²) solid or stranded. Temperature compensation is active from -40 to +60 °C, meaning the trip curve stays accurate across that ambient range without manual adjustment.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the 3RU2146-4HD0 and get a price?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ — availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What does the 'Note for message Tripped' mean on this relay?

The note indicates that the relay's integrated auxiliary switch changes state when the overload trips, providing a signal — typically to a PLC or indicator — that the relay has operated. The auxiliary contacts are rated 2 A at 24 V, 3 A at 120 V, and 1 A at 400 V.

What compliance documentation does Siemens provide for this relay?

The relay carries a substance prohibitance date of 03/01/2017, indicating RoHS compliance. As a SIRIUS component, it is designed to meet UL, CSA, and IEC standards typical for industrial motor protection relays.
