Discover the ultimate protection for your motors with our range of overload relays. These essential components ensure your equipment runs smoothly by safeguarding against excessive current, which can lead to overheating and damage. Whether you're dealing with thermal overload relays or electronic overload relays, our selection offers reliable solutions tailored to your needs.
Thermal overload relays are designed to protect motors from overheating by using a bimetallic strip that bends when heated, breaking the circuit if the current exceeds a safe level. This simple yet effective mechanism ensures your motors remain safe from potential damage. On the other hand, electronic overload relays provide advanced protection with precise current monitoring and adjustable settings, making them ideal for more complex systems.
Our collection includes contactor overload relays, which integrate seamlessly with contactors to offer comprehensive motor protection. These relays are perfect for applications requiring frequent starts and stops, ensuring your operations remain uninterrupted. With leading brands like Schneider Electric in our lineup, you can trust that your equipment is in good hands.
Choosing the right overload relay is crucial for maintaining the longevity and efficiency of your motors. Consider factors such as motor size, current requirements, and environmental conditions when selecting the perfect relay for your application. Our expert team is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you find the ideal solution for your specific needs.
What does an overload relay do?
An overload relay protects motors from excessive current by breaking the circuit when the current exceeds a safe level, preventing overheating and potential damage.
What are the two basic types of overload relays?
The two basic types of overload relays are thermal overload relays and electronic overload relays.
What is the difference between a relay and an overload relay?
A relay is a general term for an electrically operated switch, while an overload relay specifically protects motors from excessive current by interrupting the circuit when necessary.
What is 95 and 96 on overload relay?
Terminals 95 and 96 on an overload relay are typically used for the normally closed contact, which opens when the relay trips due to an overload condition.
