Benefits
The most important features and benefits of the 3RB20/3RB21
electronic overload relays are listed in the overview table
(参见“通用数据”, page 7/71 onwards)
■
Application
Industries
The 3RB20 and 3RB21 electronic overload relays are suitable for
customers from all industries who want to guarantee optimum
inverse-time delayed protection of their electrical loads
(e.g. motors) under normal and heavy starting conditions
(CLASS 5E to 30E), minimize project completion times, invento-
ries and energy consumption, and optimize plant availability and
maintenance management.
Application
The 3RB20 and 3RB21 electronic overload relays have been
designed for the protection of three-phase motors in sinusoidal
50/60 Hz voltage networks. The relays are not suitable for the
protection of single-phase AC or DC loads.
The 3RU21 thermal overload relays or the 3RB22 to 3RB24 elec-
tronic overload relays can be used for single-phase AC loads.
For DC loads we recommend the 3RU21 thermal overload relay.
Ambient conditions
The devices are insensitive to external influences such as
shocks, corrosive ambient conditions, ageing and temperature
fluctuations.
For the temperature range from –25 C to +60 °C, the 3RB20 and
3RB21 electronic overload relays compensate the temperature
in accordance with IEC 60947-4-1.
For the 3RB20 and 3RB21 electronic overload relays with the
sizes S6, S10 and S12, the upper set value of the setting range
must be reduced for ambient temperatures > 50 °C by a certain
factor.
Use of SIRIUS protection devices in conjunction with
IE3/IE4 motors
Note:
For the use of 3RB20 and 3RB21 electronic overload relays in
conjunction with highly energy-efficient IE3/IE4 motors, please
observe the information on dimensioning and configuring,
see
应用手册
