Contact endurance of the auxiliary contacts
Contact endurance with AC-12 resp. AC-15/AC-14 duty is
mainly dependent on the breaking current, provided the com-
mand devices are operating randomly, i.e. not synchronized with
the phase angle of the supply system.

Contact endurance of the main contacts
The characteristic curves show the contact endurance of con- If mixed operation is involved, i.e. normal switching (breaking of
tactors when switching resistive and inductive three-phases rated operational current in AC-3 duty) with intermittend inching
loads (AC-1/AC-3) depending on the breaking current and the (breaking multiples of the rated operational current in AC-4 duty)
rated operational voltage. It is assumed that the control devices the contact endurance can be calculated approximately from

■ Overview
Specifications Function of 3US5 Thermal Overload Relays
IEC 60947-4-1. • Phase failure sensitivity acc. to IEC 60947-4-1
• Temperature compensation
The relays are suitable for use in any climate. • RESET button: manual/automatic (blue)
• TEST button (red)
• Switch position indicator
Tripping characteristics • Auxiliary contact 1 NO + 1 NC, electrically separated
• Terminal for contactor coil
The current/time curves show the relationship between the trip- • Device identifying marker
ping time from cold state and multiples of the set current Ie. • Overlapping setting ranges
When the relay is at operating temperature and carrying 100 %
Ie, the tripping times are reduced to approximately 25 %. Trip-
ping curve 3 is applicable to 3-pole loads and curve 2 to 2-pole
loads. For single-pole loads, the tripping curves lie between Internal circuit diagram
curves 2 and 3.
For normal operation, all 3 bimetallic strips of the overload relay
must be heated. The overload relays 3US are suitable for pro- L1 L2 L3
tecting motors with phase control. For protecting single-phase or 1 3 5 A2
RESET
DC-loads, therefore, all three main conducting paths must be 95 97
connected in series. Tripping curve 3 is then applicable.
The release current with a 3-pole symmetrical load is between 96 98

105 % and 120 % of the set current.

3VS motor starter protectors

■ Overview
Description Motor starter protectors
The 3VS13, 3VS16 motor starter protectors are compact motor • for motor protection
starter protectors for currents up to 52 A which operate accord- - 3VS13: 0.4~25 A
ing to the current limiting principle. The devices are used for - 3VS16: 6~52 A
switching and protecting motors or other loads. They are fitted The characteristic curves of these motor starter protectors are
with instantaneous overcurrent releases and inverse-time specially laid-out for the overload and short-circuit protection of
delayed overload relay. Motor starter protectors and contactors motors.
can be combined to form fuseless starter combinations.
The inverse-time delayed releases ("a releases") are adjustable
The 3VS13, 3VS16 motor starter protectors are suitable for use for setting the rated current of the motors to be protected. The
in any climate. instantaneous short-circuit releases ("n releases") are fixed-set
to 12 times the value so as to assure faultless starting of the mo-
tors.

Characteristic curves
The characteristic curves are obtained in the cold state and 3-
pole loading.
At operating temperature, the tripping time of the thermal re-
leases drops by about 25 %. With 3-pole loading, the deviation
in tripping time for 3 times the current and upwards is ±20 %.

Characteristic curves for 3VS13


The characteristic curves shown here apply for a 3VS1300-
0MK00 motor starter protector with a rated current of 6 A, a cur-
rent setting range of 4 to 6 A and a tripping current for the instan-
taneous overcurrent release of 72 A, at a rated voltage of AC
50 Hz, 400 V.
