Applications
Motor monitoring with PTC in the
winding:
• For long starting and braking
operations
• For high switching frequencies
• For increased ambient temperatures
• When the cooling medium flow
is restricted
• For AC drive operation
Highlights
• All products are PTB-ATEX
certified
• Wire breakage and short circuit
in the sensor circuit are displayed
• Versions with hard-gold-plated
relays which are electronics
compatible
• Favorably priced compact device
(A1 + 11 jumpered)
• Either screw or cage clamp terminal connection system
SIMIREL –
3RN1 thermistor motor protection
relay : Today, motor protection is so simple
The power and lifetime of motors is essentially limited by the winding temperature. Motor
manufacturers integrate PTC sensors in the motor winding if more stringent requirements prevail – e. g.
for high ambient temperatures or where cooling is restricted. The thermistor motor protection devices
operate according to the closed-circuit principle, detect these limit temperatures and switch the output
relay contacts.
