Features Benefits
Trip Classes - 5, 10, 20, or 30 Selectable by DIP-switches
Field changeable reduces time and inventory. Suitable for
light, normal and heavy starting conditions
Phase Loss Protection - Trips in less than 3 Seconds
Protects motor burn out and minimizes motor heating up
Phase Unbalance - Trips based on Trip Class selected
Minimizes temperature rise of the motor on a asymmetrical
three-phase-system
Ground Fault - Trips 60% of Motor Current
Provides optimum system protection of motors against
high-resistance short-circuits or ground faults due to moisture,
condensation, damage of insulation or any other reason
Trip Indicator - Visible
Save time, faster to identify overload Trip
Ambient Insensitive
Prevents nuisance tripping
No Heaters Required
Saves cost and eliminates time for installation of heaters
Self-Powered - No outside source required
Reduce cost for external power supply
FLA dial with wide Adjustment - 4:1 ratio
Provides wide range, reduces inventory
Self Protected in short circuit condition (when used with
proper fuses or motor starter protector)
Unlike bimetal overloads, this eliminates replacement of the
overload heaters after short circuit
Test Button - Tests Electronics
Tests the complete electronic functions including the trip
mechanism. Increases up time
Thermal Memory
Prevents re-starting motor when it is still hot
Conformally coated circuit board
Resists against environmental conditions
1 NO and 1NC Contacts Standard. B600, R300
Makes it easier for user to wire local contacts
Operating Temperature: -25 °C - 65 °C
Wide operating temperature range prevents nuisance tripping
with temperature changes
Repeat Accuracy <1%.
For more precise settings and reduced nuisance tripping
Removable Terminal Block
Terminal Block can be removed without removing wires.
Saves time for replacements
Automatic reset
Auto. Reset is 3 minutes after tripping, allowing motor to
cool down before re-start. If Manual Reset is selected,
overload can be reset immediately
Remote reset
As an alternative to the mechanical RESET options, an
electrical remote RESET can be used by applying 24 V DC
to terminals A3 and A4
DIN Rail Mounted
Reduces installation time
Touch - Safe Terminals
Protects against accidental touching of live circuits
UL listed CSA certified
Third party approval standard
