This Eaton Contactor Overload Relay is designed to help your motor continue working in a safe environment by monitoring the current in the motor circuit and breaking the circuit when an electrical overload or phase failure is found. It works by cutting off the current to the motor when a high current situation occurs. As the relay receives the corresponding signal, it trips.

This Eaton product is predominantly designed for imitating the heating prototypes that are a staple for keeping your motors healthy, which increases the motor lifetime. It provides an affordable and efficient way for you to protect your motors, whilst giving you peace of mind that you have sufficient motor protection and control.

Eaton’s reliable and high-quality Overload Relay offers motor control within a multitude of environments, coming with a 600 V ac control voltage, 6W power rating and a temperature range of -5 to +55 °C. Eaton offer a wide range of reliable contactor overload relays to protect machinery from overheating, keeping your business and its operations accessible.

• An affordable way of preventing damage to the motor
• Compact in size with a 58mm x 106mm x 45mm (DxLxW)
• Wide operating temperature range of -5 to +55 °C
• Bimetallic tripping mechanism with trip response from 2 to 10 seconds
• Easy to install and reset once they have tripped
• Has test and stop functions, assessing quality of the overload relay
• Automatic and Manual reset methods
• Class 10 A overload

Protect motors running on a full load current rating of 1 to 1.6A using this overload relay from Eaton. In the event of an extended overload, the bimetallic tripping mechanism shuts down the current in a matter of 2 to 10 seconds. Installation of the relay is easy, thanks to screw terminals to help you make quick and secure connections. Test and stop functions are on hand for performance monitoring.

• Automatic and manual reset options help you restart operations after tripping
• Operating temperature range of -5°C to +55°C for safe use in industrial environments

An overload relay is a device that senses when a motor is drawing a current above its rated value and shuts off the current. You can use it to protect the motor from damage caused by overload currents, saving costly replacement and avoiding downtime.

A thermal overload relay like this one uses a bimetallic strip made up of two dissimilar metals. When they're subjected to an overload current, the metals heat up and expand at different rates, bending the strip to break the power supply.
