The Siemens 3RN1000-1AM00 is a compact thermistor motor protection unit designed to safeguard motors from potential overheating. This evaluation device is engineered to work with a single measuring circuit and is equipped with an automatic reset function, enhancing its operational efficiency. It operates on an AC supply voltage of 230V, with a frequency range that accommodates both 50Hz and 60Hz, making it versatile for various industrial applications.
The unit's temperature measurement capabilities range from 60°C to 180°C, providing a broad spectrum for monitoring motor temperatures. The 3RN1000-1AM00 features a changeover contact for auxiliary contacts, but does not include normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) contacts, which simplifies its design and function.
With an IP20 protection class, the device is suitable for general industrial environments where direct contact with the equipment is not common. The compact dimensions, with a width of 22.5mm, height of 83mm, and depth of 91mm, allow for easy integration into electrical control panels without requiring excessive space.
The LED display offers clear indication of the operational status, and the screw-type terminals ensure a secure and reliable electrical connection. The absence of a reclosing interlock and defect storage streamlines the functionality of the unit, focusing on its primary role of motor protection.
This thermistor motor protection unit is a practical choice for those seeking a straightforward and effective solution to prevent motor overheating, thereby extending the lifespan of their motor-driven equipment.
