What it represents

A thermal overload relay monitors motor-circuit loading and operates associated control contacts.

Account for direct attachment to a contactor or a separate mounting adapter. The GA locates the physical item; the associated schematic or equipment schedule records its electrical interfaces.

The preview is independent educational geometry and is not a manufacturer outline, fabrication drawing or verified standard graphic. Obtain the applicable model drawing from the cited official source before making a dimensional layout.

How to read it

  • Account for direct attachment to a contactor or a separate mounting adapter.
  • An overload relay is not a short-circuit interruption device.

Information to show or reference

  • Confirm the exact equipment identity, drawing revision and installation orientation.
  • Account for direct attachment to a contactor or a separate mounting adapter.
  • Cross-reference the terminals, cable routes and service tasks with the equipment schedule.

A distinction that matters

An overload relay is not a short-circuit interruption device.
