The Siemens 3RT2916-1CB00 is a high-quality surge suppressor designed to protect contactor relays and motor contactors from transient overvoltages, which can occur due to lightning strikes, switching operations, or other disruptions in electrical circuits. This component is part of the SIRIUS product family and is specifically engineered for use with Size S00 contactors.

Crafted with robust RC elements, the 3RT2916-1CB00 ensures the longevity and reliability of your electrical equipment by effectively dampening and dissipating excess voltage, thus safeguarding sensitive control circuits. It operates within a control supply voltage range of 24 to 48 V AC at 50/60 Hz and 24 to 70 V DC, making it versatile for a wide range of industrial applications.

The surge suppressor is designed for ease of installation with a clip-on fastening method, allowing for quick and secure attachment to the contactor. Its compact dimensions, with a width of 28 mm, height of 46 mm, and depth of 9 mm, ensure that it does not require excessive space within control cabinets.

With a broad operating ambient temperature range from -25°C to +60°C and storage temperature range from -40°C to +80°C, the 3RT2916-1CB00 is suitable for challenging industrial environments. It also holds certifications such as CE, UL, CSA, and CCC, which attest to its compliance with international standards and its suitability for global use.

The Siemens 3RT2916-1CB00 surge suppressor is a critical component for enhancing the protection and performance of your electrical control systems, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety of your operations.

What is the purpose of a surge suppressor in an electrical circuit?

A surge suppressor is designed to protect electrical equipment from voltage spikes in the power supply. It helps to extend the lifespan of the equipment by preventing damage caused by transient overvoltages, which can occur due to lightning strikes, power outages, or switching operations in the electrical grid.

Can this surge suppressor be used with any size of contactor?

No, this surge suppressor is specifically designed for use with contactor relays and motor contactors of size S00. It is important to match the suppressor to the correct size of contactor for proper protection and fit.

Is this surge suppressor suitable for both AC and DC control circuits?

Yes, the surge suppressor is suitable for control circuits that operate on either AC or DC. It can handle control supply voltages of 24 to 48 V AC and 24 to 70 V DC.

What are the ambient temperature limits for operating this surge suppressor?

The surge suppressor can operate within an ambient temperature range of -25°C to +60°C during operation, and it can be stored in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +80°C.

How is the surge suppressor installed onto a contactor?

The surge suppressor is designed for easy clip-on mounting, allowing it to be securely attached to the appropriate contactor without the need for additional tools or complex installation procedures.

What certifications does this surge suppressor have?

This surge suppressor has several certifications, including CE, UL, and CSA, indicating compliance with relevant safety and quality standards.

Can this surge suppressor be mounted in any orientation?

Yes, the surge suppressor can be mounted in any position, providing flexibility in installation and ensuring it can be used in a variety of settings.

What is the design of the surge suppressor?

The surge suppressor features an RC element design, which combines a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) to effectively dampen and absorb voltage spikes.

Are there any special environmental considerations for using this surge suppressor?

The surge suppressor is robust and can handle a range of environmental conditions, but it's always best to refer to the specific product documentation for any special environmental confirmations or approvals that may be relevant to your application.

What is the physical size of the surge suppressor?

The dimensions of the surge suppressor are 28 mm in width, 46 mm in height, and 9 mm in depth, making it compact and suitable for use in space-constrained environments.
