Eaton ZE Overload Relay 1NO + 1NC, 2.4 → 4 A F.L.C, 4 A Contact Rating, 6 W, 600 V ac

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

• 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

To protect motors that run with a full load current (FLC) of 2.4 to 4A from overloads, use this Eaton overload relay. It features a bimetallic strip that bends in the event of an overcurrent, breaking the power to the motor at a rate of between 2 and 10 seconds and preventing damage. The relay is easy to install and you can quickly reset it after it's been tripped using either the manual or automatic reset option.

• Screw terminals help you quickly make secure connections
• Wide operating temperature range of -5°C to +55°C for safe use in demanding industrial environments

This relay's reactive strip is made of two types of metal, which heat up in response to an overcurrent at fractionally different times. This causes the strip to deform and bend, preventing the continued flow of electricity and breaking the circuit to the motor.

An overload relay should aways be connected in line with the motor, so that the current supplied to the motor flows fully through the relay.
