These units automatically interrupt the operating circuit when calibrated safe limits are exceeded<\/strong><\/b>within the installation.Gahzly<\/strong><\/b>, by changing the auxiliary-contact state when the bimetal elements deflect from excessive heating, which removes the control signal from the main contactor and stops the motor.<\/p>\n

Advanced design features of Schneider Electric TeSys overload relays<\/h3>\n

Bimetal-strip engineering, ambient-temperature compensation, and current adjustment<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

The TeSys range uses bimetallic strips made from metals with different thermal expansion rates. When current exceeds the calibrated value, the resulting heat bends the strip and operates the mechanical trip mechanism. The relay also uses ambient-temperature compensation to reduce nuisance tripping caused by environmental temperature changes, together with an adjustable overload setting that should be matched to the motor rated current.<\/p>\n

Operating mechanism and functional interaction of the TeSys overload relay<\/h3>\n

The principles behind thermal deflection and control-circuit interruption<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

The overload relay responds to current flowing through the motor circuit. Under normal conditions, current passes through the relay without producing enough heat to reach the trip threshold. During a sustained overload, the bimetal elements heat and deflect until the mechanism changes the auxiliary contacts, typically opening the NC control contact and optionally closing the NO indication contact, causing the contactor to disconnect the motor.<\/p>\n

Installation and field connection engineering for the TeSys overload relay<\/h3>\n

Direct mounting below the main contactor<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Installation begins by fully isolating the electrical supply and verifying absence of voltage, then connecting the TeSys overload relay directly below the compatible main contactor and securing the power terminals and mechanical mounting.<\/p>\n

Connecting the control circuit to the overload relay auxiliary contacts<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

The control circuit, such as the contactor-coil supply path, is wired through the overload relay NC auxiliary contact. The current-setting dial is then adjusted to match the motor nameplate current inside industrial and commercial panels through Gahzly<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n
