Thermal relays, also known as overload relays or thermal overload protection devices, are essential components in motor control circuits. These electromechanical devices protect electric motors from damage caused by prolonged overcurrent conditions, typically using a bimetallic strip that bends when heated by the motor current, tripping the contactor and disconnecting the motor. Key technical parameters include the setting current range (e.g., 0.1-630A), trip class (Class 10, 20, or 30), and the number of poles (typically 3P for three-phase motors). They are available in direct-mounted or separate-mounted configurations, often with differential mechanism for single-phase protection and ambient temperature compensation. Common accessories include auxiliary contact blocks, manual/automatic reset selectors, and test buttons.
Thermal relays are primarily installed in motor control centers (MCCs), distribution boards, and industrial automation panels. They are widely used across sectors such as manufacturing, water treatment, HVAC, mining, and oil and gas, where electric motors drive pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, and other rotating machinery. Their robust design ensures reliable protection in harsh environments, with IP20 or higher protection ratings depending on the enclosure.
Our catalog includes subcategories like direct-mounted thermal relays (e.g., for contactors up to 95A), separate-mounted thermal relays (for higher currents up to 630A), and electronic overload relays with advanced features. Key article codes follow patterns such as "LRD" for TeSys series (e.g., LRD06, LRD22) or "3RU" for Siemens Sirius (e.g., 3RU2116, 3RU2136), where the numeric suffix indicates the setting range. These codes are standardized across manufacturers, making selection straightforward based on motor full-load current and contactor frame size.
