The Siemens 3RU2116-1GB0 is a dependable thermal overload relay from the renowned SIRIUS 3RU2 Series, designed to provide reliable protection for three-phase motors against overload conditions, phase failure, and excessive current draw. Featuring an adjustable current setting range of 4.5–6.3 A, Class 10 tripping characteristics, and compatibility with Size S00 Siemens contactors, this relay is ideal for industrial motor control systems, automation equipment, and compact motor starter assemblies.
Built on Siemens' proven thermal overload protection technology, the relay continuously monitors motor current and disconnects the motor when overload conditions persist beyond permissible limits. Its inverse-time delayed tripping characteristic helps prevent motor overheating, winding damage, insulation deterioration, and costly downtime while allowing normal motor starting currents. Integrated phase-failure sensitivity further enhances motor protection and operational reliability.
The Variant GB0 provides an adjustable overload release setting of 4.5–6.3 A, making it suitable for protecting motors used in pumps, fans, compressors, conveyor systems, HVAC equipment, packaging machinery, machine tools, and industrial automation applications. Its compact S00 frame size enables efficient installation in motor control centers (MCCs), OEM machinery, and industrial control panels.
The relay is designed for direct contactor mounting and includes 1 Normally Open (NO) and 1 Normally Closed (NC) auxiliary contact for signaling, trip indication, and control circuit integration. It supports both manual and automatic reset modes and features screw-type terminals for secure wiring and simplified installation. The relay is rated for operation up to 690 V AC.
Manufactured according to Siemens' stringent quality standards, the 3RU2116-1GB0 delivers dependable long-term performance in demanding industrial environments where continuous motor protection is essential.
