Product details

If you are protecting a motor that starts hard (high-inertia load, long acceleration), CLASS 10 may be too fast — but for pumps, fans, and compressors on a typical 400 V line, this is the correct class.

At 400 V it is rated for 37 kW motor load; at 500 V that climbs to 45 kW, and at 690 V to 55 kW. The corresponding current ratings are 65 A at 480 V and 62 A at 600 V — so the relay is sized for the motor full-load current, not the supply voltage alone. If your motor nameplate says 37 kW at 400 V, this relay covers it. The auxiliary contact ratings cover 2 A at 24 V and 230 V, 3 A at 120 V, and 0.75 A at 690 V — enough to signal a trip to the PLC or annunciator without an interposing relay.

Mounts directly onto the contactor — no DIN rail required, no extra bracket. The fastening method is contactor mounting, using M8 bolts for the main circuit. The screwdriver drive is a 4 mm hexagon socket — keep that bit in your panel-building kit.

Temperature compensation is active from -40 to +60 °C — so the trip curve stays accurate across the working range. RoHS compliance date is 03/01/2017, meaning it meets the substance restrictions in effect from that date.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RU2146-4KB0?

We source and quote this part to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the trip class of 3RU2146-4KB0?

It is CLASS 10, meaning it will trip within 10 seconds at 7.2× the set current — the standard match for across-the-line motor starting.

Does 3RU2146-4KB0 mount on a DIN rail?

No, it mounts directly onto the contactor using M8 bolts — no DIN rail or bracket needed.

What motor power does 3RU2146-4KB0 cover at 400 V?

It is rated for 37 kW at 400 V, 45 kW at 500 V, and 55 kW at 690 V.

What compliance documentation does 3RU2146-4KB0 have?

RoHS compliance date is 03/01/2017. The relay operates from -40 to +70 °C and stores from -55 to +80 °C.
