Overload relays provide reliable motor overload protection by preventing damage caused by phase failure, high temperatures, or electrical overload. They’re usually connected in series to the contactor (or switching device) to protect the motor from problems associated with the motor drawing excess current that could lead to overheating and damage to windings. When operations depend on the safe and efficient function of a motor, it’s essential to keep it protected from as many potent...

Motor contactors are electrical switches used as means of control, connecting or disconnecting electric motors and other load devices to the power supply. They’re typically designed for normally open contacts, which ensures the load disconnects whenever the coil of the contactor de-energizes. Because this interrupts heavy motor currents, arcing must be suppressed and controlled with an arc extinguishing device, which functions alongside the contactor’s electromagnetic and control sy...
