Operation with frequency converters
3RU21 thermal overload relays
3RU21 thermal overload relays are suitable for operation with frequency converters.
Depending on the frequency of the converter, eddy current and skin effects that occur mean
that in some cases, a current higher than the rated motor current has to be set.
3RB20 / 3RB21 and 3RB30 / 3RB31 electronic overload relays
3RB20 / 3RB21 and 3RB30 / 3RB31 electronic overload relays are suitable for frequencies
of 50 / 60 Hz and their associated harmonics. This makes it possible to use a 3RB20 /
3RB21 and 3RB30 / 3RB31 on the input side of the frequency converter. If motor protection
is required on the secondary side of the frequency converter, we recommend 3RN thermistor
motor protection devices or 3RU21 thermal overload relays.
