Product details

Its adjustable current response value spans 5.5 to 8 A, which is the setting you dial in to match the motor's full-load amps — not a fixed trip point, so one relay covers a range of motor ratings. Rated operational current is 8 A at up to 690 V, 50/60 Hz, with a total typical power loss of 6 W. The 3-pole design uses a thermal bimetallic strip — no electronics to fail, no auxiliary power needed. That makes it a straightforward swap-in for a failed unit on a motor starter: wire it, set the dial, and it tracks the motor's thermal state directly from the line current.

Fastens directly onto a S00-size contactor — no DIN rail required, no separate bracket. Main circuit and auxiliary/control circuit both use screw-type terminals. Wire range accepts 2× (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) solid or stranded, or 2× (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) — typical for the 5.5-8 A motor branch. Tightening torque for main contacts is 0.8 to 1.2 N·m, so a standard screwdriver with a torque-limiting handle keeps connections repeatable. Required side spacing to grounded parts is 6 mm; no special ventilation gap needed beyond that.

Relative humidity during operation up to 90 %. Installation altitude max 2 000 m above sea level. Surge voltage resistance rated at 6 kV, with insulation voltage 690 V at pollution degree 3. RoHS compliance date is May 1, 2012 — the part meets the RoHS exemption structure in effect from that date.

Frequently asked questions

What is the adjustable current range on this relay?

The adjustable current response value is 5.5 to 8 A. You set the dial to match the motor's full-load amps within that window.

Does the 3RU6116-1HB0 mount on a DIN rail?

No, it fastens directly onto a S00-size contactor. Mounting position is any orientation, so it integrates into the contactor's footprint without extra DIN-rail hardware.

What compliance documentation is available for this part?

RoHS compliance is dated May 1, 2012. The part carries IEC-based ratings for insulation voltage (690 V at pollution degree 3) and surge voltage resistance (6 kV).
