Product details

The 3RU2146-4LD0: Trip Class 10 means the relay will trip within 10 seconds at 7.2× the set current — standard for standard-duty motor starting where the start-up transient is under 10 seconds. The 45 kW at 400 V rating tells you the maximum motor power this relay can protect on a 400 V three-phase supply; at 690 V it covers up to 75 kW. Temperature compensation is active from -40 to +60 °C, so the trip curve stays accurate across a wide ambient range without manual adjustment.

Fastening method is contactor mounting — it snaps onto the matching SIRIUS contactor, no DIN rail needed. The main circuit accepts solid conductors 2×(2.5–16 mm²) and stranded 2×(6–16 mm²), 2×(10–50 mm²), or 1×(10–70 mm²). Auxiliary control wiring uses 2×(0.5–2.5 mm²) solid or stranded.

Contact ratings and auxiliary circuit

The auxiliary contacts are rated for various 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. The note "for message 'Tripped'" indicates this is the signalling contact that changes state when the relay trips, used for remote indication or PLC input.

Compliance and substance restrictions

The relay carries a substance prohibitance date of 03/01/2017, confirming RoHS/REACH compliance from that date onward.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy 3RU2146-4LD0 and how do I 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 — send an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

Will 3RU2146-4LD0 drop into a panel specified for 3RU2116-1FC1?

No — the 3RU2146-4LD0 is an S3 size overload relay, while the 3RU2116-1FC1 is a smaller frame. The S3 has different mounting dimensions and terminal capacity (M8 main terminals vs smaller on the S2). Rewiring and potentially a different contactor base are required.

What does the 'for message Tripped' note mean?

It identifies the auxiliary contact that signals a trip condition — typically wired to a PLC input or indicator lamp to show the relay has tripped on overload.

What compliance documentation does 3RU2146-4LD0 carry?

The relay has a substance prohibitance date of 03/01/2017, confirming RoHS and REACH compliance from that date. Operating temperature range is -40 to +70 °C.
