Ambient temperatures for 3RB30/3RB31 overload relays
3RB30/3RB31 solid-state overload relays compensate temperature in the temperature range
from –25 °C to +60 °C in accordance with IEC/EN 60947-4-1.
The reduction factors which have to be taken into account when using solid-state overload
relays at an ambient temperature higher than 60°C can be obtained on request from our
Technical Assistance on the Internet (http://www.siemens.com/automation/service&support).
Current derating during heavy-duty starting for 3RB30/3RB31 overload relays
No reduction in the maximum permissible rated operating current is required for size S00 (to
16 A).
The following maximum rated operating currents are permissible for device versions with the
setting range 10 to 40 A for size S0:
