KL8001 Power terminal - Introduction

The KL8001 power terminal is specially constructed for Siemens contactors from the Sirius 3RT10 series, size S00. It is fitted to the contactor in the same way as a standard motor protection relay. The power terminal switches the installed contactor and takes over all the functions of the motor protection relay. Apart from its purely protective function of switching off the motor when overloaded, the power terminal can carry out numerous diagnostic functions on the motor and make the diagnostic data available to the controller via the fieldbus.
