Description
The Cutler Hammer-Eaton XTOB006BC1 IEC Overload Relay is an essential part used to control current flow in electrical motors especially those used in HVAC systems. This relay currently operates at 4-6A and contains a bimetallic strip that warms when too much current passes through it. This results in a trip mechanism that switches off the power supply to the motor to reduce overheating and consequently, destruction. This overload relay is vital for the reliability of HVAC systems increased protection of the motor decreased chances of equipment breakdown, and increased operational effectiveness. Permitting temporary overloads while rapidly responding to steady excess currents makes it possible for motors to withstand inrush currents that occur during their initial operation without triggering a shutdown.
