Product Information

Full details

This Siemens SIRIUS Surge Suppressor (3RT2916-1EH00) is designed for industrial professionals and engineers who need to protect Size S00 contactors and motor contactors from voltage spikes. Its key benefit is absorbing transient overvoltages to prevent damage to sensitive control circuits, ensuring operational reliability. A potential caveat is its specific DC operation and voltage range (12-250 V DC), requiring careful compatibility checks with the existing system.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Siemens SIRIUS Surge Suppressor 3RT2916-1EH00?

Its primary function is to absorb transient overvoltages (voltage spikes) that can occur during the switching of contactors, thereby protecting sensitive electronic components and ensuring the reliability of the control system.

Can this surge suppressor be used with AC circuits?

No, this specific surge suppressor (3RT2916-1EH00) is designed for DC operation only and operates within a 12 to 250 V DC range. It is not suitable for AC circuits.

What size of contactor is this suppressor compatible with?

This suppressor is compatible with Siemens SIRIUS contactor relays and motor contactors of Size S00.

How is the surge suppressor installed?

It is a pluggable unit that easily clips onto the front of compatible Siemens Size S00 contactors. Ensure the power is off before installation.

What is the operating temperature range for this device?

The surge suppressor can operate reliably in a wide temperature range from -25°C to +60°C.

Does this product also filter electromagnetic interference (EMI)?

This product is specifically a surge suppressor designed to absorb voltage spikes. It does not function as an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter. Separate components are available for EMI filtering.

What is the voltage range for this suppressor?

The suppressor is designed for DC operation within a control circuit supply range of 12 to 250 V DC.

Troubleshooting

Surge suppressor not functioning

Verify that the control circuit voltage is within the 12-250 V DC range and that the suppressor is correctly clipped onto a compatible Size S00 contactor. Check for any visible damage.

System still experiencing voltage spikes

Ensure the suppressor is properly seated on the contactor. If issues persist, verify the contactor's specifications and the overall system design to rule out other causes of overvoltage.

Unit does not fit onto the contactor

Confirm that you are using a Siemens Size S00 contactor. This suppressor is not compatible with other sizes or brands.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances the lifespan and reliability of contactors and motor control systems.
  • Simple plug-and-play installation on compatible Siemens contactors.
  • Suitable for demanding environments due to its wide operating temperature range.
  • Compact design minimizes space requirements in control cabinets.
  • Protects sensitive electronic components from damaging voltage spikes.

Cons

  • Limited to DC operation; not suitable for AC circuits.
  • Requires specific compatibility with Siemens Size S00 contactors.
  • Does not filter electromagnetic interference (EMI); distinct from interference filters.
  • Voltage range is fixed between 12-250 V DC.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The 3RT2916-1EH00 is designed for easy integration. It is a pluggable unit that simply clips onto the front of compatible Siemens Size S00 contactors. Ensure the power to the contactor circuit is switched off before installation. Align the suppressor with the contactor's front interface and push until it clicks securely into place.

Compatibility: This surge suppressor is specifically designed for Siemens SIRIUS contactor relays and motor contactors of Size S00. It operates on DC voltage only, within the range of 12 to 250 V DC. Verify that your existing contactor is a Size S00 model and that your control circuit operates within the specified DC voltage range.

Care: As a passive electronic component, the SIRIUS Surge Suppressor requires minimal care. Keep the unit clean and free from dust and debris. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive substances. Regular visual inspection for any signs of damage is recommended. No user-serviceable parts are inside; if damaged, replace the unit.
