Thermal Type A, Class 20,
Auto/Manual Reset
Type A Overload Relay
1-Pole Panel Mounting
Application Description
The Type A overload relay is designed
to protect industrial motors against
overload conditions. Using modern
block type, bimetallic design, this relay
will provide Class 20 operation in
either single- or 3-phase applications.
Features
■ Field selectable manual/auto reset
■ Alarm contract factory available
■ Class 20 — 600V design
■ Inverse time delay trip
■ Adjustable trip rating ± 15%
■ Color coded reset rod:
❑ Compensated (Gray)
❑ Non-compensated (Red)
Operation
The Type A overload relay is a bimetal-
lic actuated device. The bimetal ele-
ments are operated by precisely
calibrated heaters. The heater ele-
ments are connected either directly in
the circuit to be measured, or through
current transformers on applications
NEMA Size 5 and larger.
As the bimetals are heated by motor
current flow, a deflection force is pro-
duced. Upon a sustained level of
abnormal current flow, the deflection
becomes great enough to open the
snap-action output contact.
Automatic Reset
The Type A overload relay can be sup-
plied as an option on all A200 starters
to provide automatic reset operation.
The overload relay is always shipped
in the non-automatic mode. To set up
auto operation, reposition the reset
rod by loosening and re-tightening a
hold-down clamp at the base of over-
load relay.
