Product details

Motor protection envelope — 90 A, adjustable 70–90 A, Class 10

The Siemens 3RU5146-4LB0 is a SIRIUS thermal overload relay rated 90 A operational current, with an adjustable current response range of 70–90 A. This relay is designed for Size S3 contactor combination, mounting directly onto the contactor without occupying DIN rail space.

Panel fit and environmental tolerance

Dimensions are 140 mm depth, 70 mm width, 120 mm height — the width is the critical panel-spacing dimension. Siemens requires 6 mm clearance to grounded parts on the side. The relay operates from -20 to +70 °C and 0–100% relative humidity, and withstands 8g shock for 10 ms per IEC 60068-2-27, so it holds up in high-vibration MCCs. Mounting position is flexible: vertical surface with ±135° rotation or ±45° tilt front/back. Installation altitude is limited to 2000 m above sea level without derating.

Sourcing and lifecycle — active production, quoted to order

The relay carries a rated operational voltage of 1000 V at 50–60 Hz, surge voltage resistance 8 kV, and insulation voltage 1000 V with pollution degree 3. Typical power loss is 16.5 W total, rising to 21 W in hot operating state at rated current.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3RU5146-4LB0 used for?

It is a thermal overload relay for motor protection, rated 90 A with adjustable trip current 70–90 A and Trip Class 10. It mounts directly onto a Size S3 contactor in the Siemens SIRIUS family, protecting the motor from overcurrent and phase loss.
