- Direct contactor mounting with screw terminals
- Auto and manual reset modes included
- Rated 690 V AC for industrial circuits
Overload Relay 9-12.5 A
The SIEMENS 3RU21161KB0 is a thermal overload relay designed for motor protection in industrial control circuits. It suits maintenance engineers and panel builders wiring three-phase starters up to 690 V AC.
Current Setting Range 9 A to 12.5 A
The adjustable dial covers 9 A minimum to 12.5 A maximum, matching Trip Class 10 response for standard motor acceleration. Motors drawing sustained current above 12.5 A exceed the relay’s calibration limit and will nuisance-trip.
Direct Contactor Mounting Screw Terminals
The unit mounts directly to a compatible SIRIUS S00 contactor using screw terminals for power and auxiliary 1NO/1NC contacts. Installers without that contactor frame or preferring DIN-rail mounting must source separate adapters.
Highlights
- Thermal protection up to 12.5 A trip class 10
- Dual auxiliary contacts 1NO/1NC for status signaling
- Direct contactor mounting with screw terminals
- Auto and manual reset modes included
- Rated 690 V AC for industrial circuits

Questions about this item
Will the 3RU21161KB0 mount directly to an existing SIRIUS S00 contactor without extra brackets?
Yes, the relay uses direct-to-contactor mounting and is compatible with the SIRIUS series frame size S00, so it fits existing S00 contactors without additional hardware.
How can I verify the overload relay is operating correctly after installation?
Set the current dial between 9 A and 12.5 A, apply load, and confirm the relay trips at the configured value with Trip Class 10 timing; the 1NO/1NC auxiliary contacts will change state to signal the trip.
Does the package include the three thermal units required for three-pole protection?
Yes, the relay includes thermal units, and the specification calls for three required thermals matching the three poles.
