Overload Relay - Function: Provides thermal overload protection for motors by monitoring current and, in some models, temperature. It trips the control circuit when the safe limit is exceeded, stopping the motor and preventing winding damage. The device resets after fault once conditions normalize. - Compatibility: Designed to be used with standard motor contactors in typical electrical control circuits. Verify coil voltage, current rating, and trip characteristics for your specific model. - Size and material: Compact form factor with a rugged housing. Exact dimensions and material vary by model; refer to the product specification for your unit. - Performance: Offers reliable protection against overload with predictable response. Many models include adjustable trip threshold and time delay to suit different motor loads. - Use scenarios: - Protecting a conveyor drive motor in material handling to prevent belt damage from overload. - Safeguarding a circulation pump in HVAC or process cooling from overheating due to flow restriction. - Guarding a fan or blower motor in industrial equipment during startup and heavy-duty operation.
