What it represents
The overload NC contact form is an auxiliary connection linked to the motor overload device. It is read in the control circuit, while overload-sensing elements remain in the motor power path or their documented measurement circuit.
This is a convention-specific lookup based on the publisher's IEEE-labelled preview. The geometry here is independently drawn to explain the connection or operation; it is not a certified reproduction of the standard graphic.
How to read it
- Link the auxiliary contact to the overload element's tag.
- Read the selected library and the project legend together. A vendor block identifier is meaningful within its named library and is not a universal standard-symbol code.
Information to show or reference
- Identify overload device
- Show control terminals
- Reference trip/reset action
A distinction that matters
The overload auxiliary contact does not itself represent the motor's full-current power path.
