2.4.3  Application environment 
2.4.3.1  3RH2 contactor relays 
The following information must be taken into account when planning applications involving 
3RH2 contactor relays. 
Degree of protection and resistance to extreme climates 
3RH2 contactor relays are suitable for use in any climate. They are safe to touch according 
to DIN EN 50274. The 3RH2 contactor relays have IP20 degree of protection. The drive 
system for the 3RH2 contactor relays has IP40 degree of protection. 
Shock load and vibratory load 
The 3RH2 contactor relays have been tested in terms of their shock resistance to sine 
pulses and rectangular pulses for AC and DC operation. 
Ambient temperature 
The 3RH2 contactor relays are dimensioned for operation at ambient temperatures of 
between -25 °C and +60 °C. The devices can be stored at temperatures within the range 
from -55 °C to +80 °C.

2.4.3.2  3RT2 power contactors 
The following information must be taken into account when planning applications involving 
3RT2 power contactors. 
Degree of protection and resistance to extreme climates 
3RT2 power contactors are suitable for use in any climate. They are safe to touch according 
to DIN EN 50274. The 3RT2 contactors have IP20 degree of protection. The drive system for 
the 3RT20 contactors has IP40 degree of protection. 
Shock load and vibratory load 
The 3RT2 contactors have been tested in terms of their shock resistance to sine pulses and 
rectangular pulses for AC and DC operation.
