Description
This component is an industrial-grade thermal overload relay designed to protect electrical motors from excessive heat damage caused by overcurrent. It works as a failsafe in motor control systems by interrupting the circuit when abnormal operating conditions are detected, ensuring system safety and preventing equipment failure.
### Electrical Specifications
- Operates within a current range of approximately 28–36A — adjustable via integrated dial.
- Trip class designation: Class 10.
- Rated operational voltage: Up to 690V AC.
- Compatibility with three-phase motor applications; suitable for both direct start and star-delta configurations.
### Physical Characteristics & Integration
- Compact mounting design — DIN rail or panel-mounted options available depending on setup needs.
- Includes manual/automatic reset function selector switch for operation preference.
- Auxiliary contact block (normally closed) provided for integration into larger control systems or remote status monitoring.
### Technical Notes and Limitations
- Designed only for use in conjunction with compatible contactors; verify size match before installation.
- Ambient temperature compensation included but only effective between -20°C to +55°C.
- Not suitable for environments prone to heavy vibration or dust ingress unless enclosed properly.
- Does not include built-in phase-failure protection; separate modules required if necessary.
