Setting the rated motor current on 3RU21/3RB30/3RB31 overload relays 
3RU21 thermal overload relays and 3RB30/3RB31 solid-state overload relays are set to the 
rated motor current with a rotary knob. The scale on the rotary knob is in amperes. 
 
NOTICE 
 
The overload relays may only be set between the setting marks at the top and the bottom of 
the scale; in other words, a setting above or below the setting scale is not permitted.
