⚡ Key Features

Continuously adjustable current range 20 A — dial to the motor’s exact nameplate full-load current (FLC) for optimum overload protection without nuisance tripping.
Combined thermal and magnetic protection in one device — single MPCB replaces a separate motor-rated MCB plus thermal overload relay, saving DIN rail space and inter-device wiring.
Phase-loss and phase-unbalance detection — trips within seconds of a phase failure, protecting the motor from the severe overheating that single-phasing causes within minutes.
Manual reset only — operator must acknowledge and reset the MPCB after a trip, preventing automatic restart that could damage the motor or driven machinery.
Manufactured to IEC 60947-4-1 and IEC 60947-2 — complies with the applicable Indian BIS and IEC international standards for this product category.
BIS certified, CE, cULus (select models) — meets Indian regulatory requirements for use in government, commercial, and industrial electrical installations.
Genuine authorised Siemens product — sourced directly from the official distribution network with full manufacturer traceability and warranty.
GST invoice provided for India orders — valid for corporate procurement, government project orders, and public tender supply via myelectric.in.
Worldwide export available — UAE, Singapore, UK, USA, Sri Lanka & more. Contact +91 94814 00316 for bulk pricing and international shipping.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What load can the 3TS9001-8K protect at its rated 20 A?

A: The 3TS9001-8K is rated to carry and protect circuits up to 20 A continuously. For motor loads, ensure the full-load current (FLC) of the motor does not exceed this rating. For resistive loads (heaters, lighting), the 20 A rating is used directly. Derate by 20% for ambient temperatures above 40°C.

Q: What instruments and meters are compatible with the 9/12 A CT ratio of the 3TS9001-8K?

A: The 9/12 A CT ratio means for every 9A in the primary (main) conductor, the secondary outputs 12 AA. Instruments connected to the secondary — ammeters, energy meters, protection relays — must be rated for 5A (or 1A where specified). Set the CT ratio in the connected meter/relay to 9/12 A so readings display the true primary current. Never open-circuit a CT secondary — this generates dangerous high voltages.

Q: Can the 3TS9001-8K replace a contactor + overload relay combination in a motor circuit?

A: The 3TS9001-8K provides motor short-circuit protection and overload protection in one device — but it cannot make/break motor current under normal operational switching (that is the contactor’s role). For motor starters requiring on/off switching, the 3TS9001-8K is used as the upstream protection device with a contactor for switching. Some MPCB series include a direct handle for manual starting of small motors without a separate contactor.

Q: What is the trip class of the 3TS9001-8K and what motor starting time does it allow?

A: MPCBs are typically rated Class 10 (trips in ≤10 seconds at 7.2× setting current), suitable for normal motors with DOL starting times up to 10 seconds. Heavy-duty motors (large fans, centrifuges, compressors) with longer starting times may need Class 20 or Class 30 protection — check the starting time against the motor’s speed-torque curve and select accordingly.

Q: What is the difference between a Motor Protection Circuit Breaker (MPCB) and a standard MCB — and why use the 3TS9001-8K?

A: A standard MCB protects against overload and short-circuit only. A Motor Protection Circuit Breaker (MPCB) adds adjustable thermal overload matched to motor FLC, Class 10/20 trip curves for motor starting inrush, and phase-loss sensitivity — making it the correct device for motor branch circuits where a standard MCB would either nuisance-trip on motor starting or fail to protect adequately against slow overloads. Choose the 3TS9001-8K when the application specifically requires motor protection circuit breaker (mpcb) characteristics.
