The Siemens 3VU9132-0AB65-0RE0 is a shunt release accessory for the 3VU13 and 3VU16 series of motor protective switches. It trips the switch remotely when its coil is energized, providing a means for emergency stop or interlock circuits to open the main contacts without requiring an operator at the panel. Rated for AC 50Hz 240V, this release is a straightforward add-on that mounts into the accessory slot on the switch body. No separate wiring compartment needed — the connection terminals are integrated into the release housing.
Integration Note
Fits the accessory bay on 3VU13 and 3VU16 switch enclosures. The shunt release occupies the same slot as an undervoltage release or auxiliary contact block — plan the accessory stack before ordering if multiple functions are needed.
