Ambient temperatures for 3RU21 overload relays
3RU21 thermal overload relays compensate temperature in the temperature range from –
40 °C to +60 °C according to IEC/EN 60947-4-1. At temperatures from +60 °C to +80 °C, the
upper set value of the setting range has to be reduced by a specific factor in accordance with
the table below.

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 according to 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
).
Derating during heavy-duty starting for 3RB30/3RB31 overload relays
There is no derating during heavy-duty starting in size S00 (up to 16 A).
The following derating has to be taken into account in size S0 (up to 40 A).
