Schneider Thermal Overload Relay 12V DC

Schneider Electric thermal overload relays are designed to protect electric motors from overheating and damage caused by overload conditions. These relays detect excess current in the motor circuit and automatically interrupt the circuit to prevent motor failure.

Key Features:

• Thermal Protection: Uses bimetallic elements that heat and bend when current exceeds set limits, triggering a trip.

• Current Ratings: Wide range of adjustable thermal current settings, typically from a few amps up to several tens of amps (e.g., 12–18 A and beyond).

• Voltage Compatibility: Designed to work with control voltages such as 12V DC for the coil and tripping circuits.

• Reset Types: Available with manual or automatic reset options.

• Standards Compliance: Complies with IEC 60947-4-1 and other international protection standards.

• Mounting: Compact, often designed to fit under Schneider contactors for streamlined motor starter assemblies.

• Protection Class: Class 10, 20 or other timing classes for tripping characteristics.

• Additional Features: Push-button manual reset, phase failure sensitivity, and temperature compensation.

• Operating Temperature Range: Typically -20°C to 60°C.
