Tripping characteristics
The time-current characteristic for three-pole symmetric loading shows the
dependency of the tripping time from a cold state on the multiple of the set
current.
When the overload relay is preloaded with 100 % of the set current, the trip-
ping times are reduced.
In the case of two-pole loading (loss of a phase) or current imbalance
> 40 % of the set current, the corresponding characteristic applies.

3RB12 electronic overload relay with analog output
Field of application
The electronic overload relay with analog output is used for measuring
instruments and analog modules with 4 to 20 mA input.

For automatic resetting, jumper B is attached between terminals Y1 and Y2.
