Key Parameters
Parameter Category Specification
Product Type Electronic Thermal Overload Relay / Motor Protection Relay
ABB Order Code 3UA0000039660
Application For protection of three-phase AC motors
Thermal Protection Bi-metal or electronic simulation with adjustable current setting (Ir). Specific range depends on model variant (e.g., 0.1A - 1000A). Must be confirmed via datasheet.
Sensor Input For connection to PTC thermistor sensors (e.g., 3 x PTC sensors) embedded in the motor windings. Provides direct temperature trip.
Protection Functions • Thermal Overload Protection (based on measured current & I²t characteristic)
• Phase Loss / Unbalance Protection
• Locked Rotor / Stall Protection
• Ground Fault Protection (optional or in certain models)
• Thermistor-based Overtemperature Trip (via PTC sensors)
Output Contacts Typically includes at least one changeover (NO/NC) alarm/trip contact. May also include a separate early warning (pre-alarm) contact.
Control Supply Voltage Can be a wide range (e.g., 24-240V AC/DC) depending on the specific variant. Must be confirmed via datasheet.
Mounting Designed for mounting on DIN rail. Can be used independently or in combination with a contactor.
Standards & Approvals Typically complies with IEC/EN 60947-4-1, UL 508, etc.
