For motors with a full-load current between 2.8 … 4.0 A, the Siemens 3RU2126-1EB0 is the size S0 SIRIUS 3RU2 bimetal overload relay, trip CLASS 10, designed to plug straight onto a 3RT2 contactor. It has 1 NO + 1 NC auxiliary contacts: the NC contact opens the contactor coil circuit on overload and the NO contact can signal the trip to the PLC.
Siemens describes this unit as: Overload relay 2.8…4.0 A Thermal For motor protection Size S0, Class 10 Contactor mounting Main circuit: Screw Auxiliary circuit: Screw Manual-Automatic- Reset. The S0 housing is the same width as the matching contactor, so the starter stays compact.
See our Siemens industrial controls for matching 3RT2 contactors in size S0.

Frequently asked questions
Can it be mounted on its own?
Yes, with the Siemens terminal support for stand-alone installation; otherwise it plugs straight onto the contactor.
What is the UL full-load current rating?
Per Siemens: 4 A for a 3-phase motor at 480 V.
How do I set it?
Turn the setting dial to the motor rated current from the nameplate, within 2.8 … 4.0 A.
