Siemens 3RH2 Contactor Relay, 24V dc Coil, 10 A 24V dc, 4 NO, 690V ac

Protect your motors and circuits against current overloads with this contactor relay from Siemens' SIRIUS Innovation range. It's a quality safeguard specifically designed for the protection of motor branch circuits and motor branch circuit components. You can install this unit with your contactors as part of a motor starter or in a control panel or centre. The four NO (normally open) auxiliary contacts disconnect the power supply in the event of electricity surges to prevent electrical shocks and fires that can cause costly damage to equipment and extended downtimes.

• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C for use in extreme climates

There are thermal and electronic overload relays. Thermal overload relays use a bi-metallic plate to detect current spikes. Electronic overload relays like this one use temperature sensors to measure the load current and often come with selected trip classes.
