Product details

Rated for motor loads up to 37 kW at 400 V, 45 kW at 500 V, and 55 kW at 690 V, it covers the common European and North American voltage bands. The auxiliary contacts are rated 2 A at 24 V and 230 V, 3 A at 120 V, and 1 A at 400 V — enough to drive a standard PLC input or a small relay coil. The "for message Tripped" note on the nameplate means the N/C contact opens on a trip, giving a positive signal to the control system.

This is an S3 frame overload relay, the largest in the SIRIUS 3RU2 series. It's designed for stand-alone installation — no DIN rail required, though it can be mounted directly to the contactor or on a mounting plate. Depth is 140 mm, width 70 mm, height 120 mm — plan your gland plate and door clearance accordingly.

Compliance documentation is in order: RoHS compliant per the 03/01/2017 substance prohibition date. The relay carries a 690 V rated insulation voltage and is tested for AC-3e switching up to 1,000 V, so it meets the IEC 60947-4-1 standard for motor starters.

The 37 kW at 400 V rating is the AC-3 (squirrel-cage motor starting) value — that's the real-world number for sizing. The 65 A at 480 V and 62 A at 600 V ratings let you use it on 480 V North American systems without derating. Per-pole power dissipation is 6.3 W, so factor that into your panel thermal budget if you're running multiple relays in a sealed enclosure. The auxiliary switch is integrated — no separate head to order, which saves a line item on the BOM.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RU2146-4KD1 and get a price?

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 closest functional second-source to 3RU2146-4KD1?

The 3RU2116-1FC1 is a smaller S2-frame relay from the same SIRIUS family, but it won't drop into an S3 panel without rewiring — the terminal spacing and mounting footprint are different. For an S3 replacement, stay with the 3RU2146 frame.

What does the 'for message Tripped' note mean?

It means the normally-closed auxiliary contact opens when the relay trips, providing a positive voltage-free signal to the control system that the overload has operated. That's the standard fail-safe wiring for a motor starter.

What is the depth of 3RU2146-4KD1?

The overall depth is 140 mm. Width is 70 mm, height is 120 mm. Plan your enclosure depth to leave clearance for the outgoing power cables and the manual reset button.

Will 3RU2146-4KD1 fit in a panel designed for 3RU2116-1FC1?

No. The 3RU2146 is an S3 frame (70 mm wide, 140 mm deep) while the 3RU2116 is an S2 frame (smaller footprint). The mounting hole pattern and terminal positions are different — you'll need to drill new holes and re-route the power conductors.

What compliance documentation does 3RU2146-4KD1 carry?

RoHS compliant per the 03/01/2017 substance prohibition date. Rated insulation voltage is 690 V, with AC-3e switching capability up to 1,000 V. It meets IEC 60947-4-1 for motor starter applications.
