Tripping classes of the thermal overload relays
Standard classes in IEC 947-4-1 are classes: 10 A, 10, 20, 30. The tripping class indicates
according to IEC 947-4-1 the maximum tripping time in seconds under specifed conditions of
test at 7.2 times the setting current and specifes tripping and non tripping times for 1.5 and 7.2
times the setting current. Mostly used class is 10 A.

Description
TA thermal overload relays are used with A Line contactors for the protection of
motors having a nominal voltage of up to 600VAC max per UL/CSA (690VAC and
800VDC per IEC).
Product range
Standard relays:
Types: TA25DU, TA42DU, TA75DU, TA80DU, TA110DU, TA200DU and TA450DU
TA25 to TA110 and TA200 are directly connected in the motor circuit.
TA450DU relays are fed through a linear type transformer
Special construction
Thermal overload relays with different certifcations and approvals.
Relays for protection EEx e motors.
Construction and function
General
Thermal O/L relays and their accessories meet UL, CSA and most other important
international standards (IEC), European standards (EN) and the most important
national standards (DIN-VDE, NFC-UTE, BS, etc.). They meet the certifcation
and approval directives required throughout the world.
Thermal overload relays are 3 pole. The motor current fows through their bimetals
(1 per phase) which are indirectly heated. Under the effect of the heating, the
bimetals bend, cause the relay to trip and the position of the auxiliary contacts to
change.
The relay setting range is graduated in amps. In compliance with international and
national standards, the setting current is the motor nominal current and not the
tripping current (no tripping at 1.05 x setting current, tripping at 1.2 times setting
current).
The tripping curves (cold or warm starting, 3 phases and 2 phases) are shown on
page 2.14.
The relays are built to be self protecting in the event of an overload until the short
circuit protection device is activated.

Description
Application
Technical data
All the relays have:
Free tripping: the resetting button, even if held in, does not prevent tripping of the thermal overload relay in the
event of a fault.
Temperature compensation
Phase failure protection according to IEC 947-4-1: Within the limits of the setting range, a reduced tripping time, and
thus improved motor protection, is obrtained in case of a phase failure.
Tripping class: 10A, for TA relays
Test functions and resetting: see table below.
Auxiliary contacts
The relays have two built in auxiliary contacts: NC marked 95-96; NO marked 97-98. Both contacts are physically separate
and can thus be used for 2 different circuits (control circuit and indication circuit).

LC terminal blocks can be used to convert standard connections into Faston connections: 2 x 6.3mm or 4 x 2.8mm per pole.
The connections are protected against accidental contact.
The LC30-T has a terminal block for the 3 power terminals and a second for the 4 auxiliary terminals of a TA25DU thermal
O/L relay.
The LC26-B1 has two identical terminal blocks each for 3 power terminals. This block allows the power terminals to be
mounted with two DB25 kits or a TA25DU thermal O/L relay and DB25 kit assembly.
NOTE: According to DIN 46429 part 1 and NFC 20-120 the max. capacity of a Faston connection is 25 A.

Application
The DS25-A coil is used for remote electrical tripping of the TA25 DU thermal O/L relay and is connected to the relay's
normally closed 95-96 auxiliary contact.
The DR 25-A coil is used for remote electrical resetting of the TA25DU thermal O/L relay which is
adjusted for Manual resetting; it is connected to the relays normally open 97-98 auxiliary contact.
The coils are not designed for continuous duty. Impulse duration: 0.2 to 0.35 s.
Set the button to Man (Manual resetting).
Mounting: clipped on to TA25DU thermal O/L relay.

Ambient temperature compensation
Thermal O/L relays are compensated against ambient temperature
variations by a compensation bimetal which is sensitive to the
ambient temperature.
Thermal O/L relays are designed to operate between 5 C and
+40 C in compliance with standard IEC 947-4-1. For a wider range
of 25 C to +55 C consult the graph opposite.
Example: tripping at 25 C. Tripping takes place before 1.5 times
the setting current.
Resetting: TA25DU TA450 DU thermal O/L relays have convertible
manual/automatic resetting.
Delivery: in manual resetting mode.

Technical data
TA25DU TA450DU
Switching frequency:
To avoid untimely tripping, TA and T thermal O/L relays have been designed to withstand roughly 15 switching operations
per hour with an approximately equal distribution between working and rest cycles.
In these conditions, the motor starting time must not exceed 1 second and the starting current must be lower than or equal
to 6 times the motor I
n
.
For intermittent operations, the diagram opposite specifes relay operating limits.
Example: Motor starting time: 1 sec.
Load factor: 40 %
Switching frequency: 60 ops./h according to diagram
For a higher number of operations and for load variations (e.g. frequent starting and braking), it is advisable to use
CUSTORAPID
protection.
For motors subject to particularly severe operating conditions (e.g. locked rotor) it is advisable to use protection combined
with a thermal O/L relay and the CUSTORAPID
system.
Protection of motors with long starting time
See electronic overload relay section, pages 2.21 - 2.32.
Mounting position
On a support at an angle of 30 in relation to the vertical plane (standard position).
Other mounting positions possible, except mounting on a horizontal plane (in this case the tripping
mechanism would be located above the bimetals).
Special version for EEx e motors

Motor protection; Choice of protective device
Note: Fuses
Fuses do not protect motors against overloads. They are only used to protect installations and lines against short circuits.
To ensure effcient protection of a motor against short circuits, it is advisable to use aM type fuses in association with thermal
OLR relays.
For the selection of fuses or circuit-breakers, refer to the indications given in this catalogue concerning contactors on the one
hand and thermal O/L relays on the other.
In general, fuse protection for direct-on-line starting must be sized as follows:
aM fuses: choose the fuse rating immediately above the full load value of the motor current.
gG (gI) fuses: determine the fuse rating immediately above the motor current value and choose the next highest fuse rating.

Motor Protection general
It is very important to choose an adequate protective device for the safety of the motor during operation and for its durability.
The effciency of protection methods varies according to the application. The overview below will help you to choose.
There is no general rule and we are available to advise you for special applications and especially in the case of diffcult starting.
