The Siemens 3RH Series Auxiliary Switch is a compact and reliable snap-on mount switch block designed for seamless integration with contactors used in motor switching applications. This auxiliary switch block features a configuration of 3 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) contacts, conforming to DIN EN50005 standards. With a cage clamp connection, it ensures a secure and maintenance-free electrical connection.
Crafted for durability, the switch block can withstand a wide range of ambient temperatures from -25°C to +60°C during operation, making it suitable for various industrial environments. It boasts an impressive mechanical operating cycle of typically 10 million operations and an electrical operating cycle of 200,000 at AC-15, at 230V.
The 3RH1921-2HA31 auxiliary switch block is rated for an insulation voltage of 690V with a pollution degree of 3 and has an impulse voltage resistance of 6kV, ensuring robust performance in demanding electrical conditions. Its auxiliary circuit can handle currents up to 10A at 24V, with varying ratings up to 600V.
With dimensions of 44mm in width, 38mm in height, and 51mm in depth, this auxiliary switch block is designed for space-saving installation while providing easy access for wiring through its spring-loaded terminals. It is compatible with finely stranded wires with or without conductor end processing, accommodating a range of conductor cross-sections.
The Siemens 3RH1921-2HA31 is also equipped with a mirror contact feature as per IEC 60947-4-1 standards when used with 3RT1 contactors, although it does not support positively driven operation to IEC 60947-5-1. This auxiliary switch block is a testament to Siemens' commitment to quality, offering a reliable solution for enhancing control circuit functionalities in industrial applications.
