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.
3RB30/3RB31 solid-state overload relays
3RB30/3RB31 solid-state overload relays are suitable for frequencies of 50 / 60 Hz and their
associated harmonics. This makes it possible to use a 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.
