Product details

The Siemens SIRIUS 3RU7146-4JB0 is a Size S3 thermal overload relay for 3-pole motor circuits, rated at 63 A operational current and 1000 V operating voltage (AC/DC). Its CLASS 10 trip characteristic means it will trip within 10 seconds at 7.2× the current setting — the standard for standard-start induction motors where the start time is under 10 seconds. The relay mounts directly onto a SIRIUS S3 contactor (contactor mounting) and is wired via screw-type terminals on both the main and auxiliary circuits.

The 63 A rated operational current (AC-1/AC-3) determines the maximum motor FLA you can protect — size the relay so the motor's full-load amps fall within the adjustable range of the relay's thermal element. Terminals accept 2× (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) solid/stranded or 2× (0.75 to 2.5 mm²) finely stranded with ferrule; torque the main circuit screws to 4–6 N·m and auxiliary screws to 0.8–1.2 N·m. Mounting position is flexible — vertical surface with ±135° rotation and ±45° tilt — but the ambient operating range is -20 to +55 °C; derate above 40 °C if the load is continuous.

It is a standard catalog item from the Siemens SIRIUS line — order to specification, no last-time-buy constraints.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional alternative to the 3RU7146-4JB0?

The 3RT1044-1FB46 is a SIRIUS contactor in the same S3 frame size, but it is a contactor, not a thermal overload relay — the 3RU7146-4JB0 mounts directly onto it for coordinated motor protection, but they are not drop-in substitutes for each other.

What are the key ratings for this overload relay?

Rated operational current 63 A, rated operating voltage 1000 V AC/DC, CLASS 10 trip, 3-pole, total power loss 17.1 W at rated current, IP20 front / IP00 terminals.

What wire sizes and torque specs apply?

Main circuit terminals accept 2×(0.5–1.5 mm²) solid or 2×(0.75–2.5 mm²) finely stranded, torqued to 4–6 N·m. Auxiliary terminals accept the same wire sizes at 0.8–1.2 N·m.
