Product details

Rated voltage is 690 V, with motor power ratings of 30 kW at 400 V, 37 kW at 500 V, and 55 kW at 690 V, and current ratings of 52 A at 480 V and 62 A at 600 V. The relay includes a "Tripped" message indicator for quick fault diagnosis on the panel door or enclosure.

Mounts stand-alone in any position — no DIN rail required, though it can be panel-mounted directly. Main circuit connections use screw-type terminals accepting solid conductors 2×(2.5…16 mm²) and stranded 2×(6…16 mm²), 2×(10…50 mm²), or 1×(10…70 mm²). Auxiliary control terminals accept 2×(0.5…1.5 mm²) solid or 2×(0.75…2.5 mm²) stranded. The main contact screw requires an M8 hexagon socket, 4 mm tip. Dimensions: 70 mm wide, 120 mm high, 140 mm deep — fits standard S3 panel cutouts.

Auxiliary contact ratings and ambient conditions

The built-in auxiliary contacts (typically N/O + N/C for trip and signal) carry rated currents across common control voltages: 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. Lower-voltage DC ratings: 0.3 A at 60 V, 0.22 A at 110/125 V, 0.11 A at 220 V. Operating ambient temperature range is -40…+70 °C, with temperature compensation active from -40…+60 °C — meaning the thermal curve stays accurate across the working range without manual adjustment. Storage and transport range is -55…+80 °C. Power dissipation per pole is 5.7 W.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 'Tripped' message on 3RU2146-4JB1 indicate?

The relay carries a 'Tripped' message indicator that visually signals when the thermal overload has operated, allowing a maintenance technician to quickly identify which motor circuit tripped without opening the panel.

What are the motor power ratings for 3RU2146-4JB1?

The relay is rated for 30 kW at 400 V, 37 kW at 500 V, and 55 kW at 690 V, with corresponding current ratings of 52 A at 480 V and 62 A at 600 V.

Where can I buy 3RU2146-4JB1 and what is the lead time?

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 your quantity and delivery window.
