Overloads for motors are sized from the full load amperage that is taken from the motors nameplate. Depending on who the manufacturer of the motor contactor is will govern the sizing of the relay. Some contactors use bolt in heaters and others use a separate unit that connects to the contactor. No matter what method is used make sure to use the manufactures recommended overloads that are based in the motors FLA.

What is a motor thermistor?
It is a device used to sense the temperature within the motor coils. There are usually three in a three phase motor, one for each coil. The output of the thermistor is used to hold an over temperature relay designed to be used with thermistors, in a closed position. The start circuit of the motor control is connected thriough this relay through N.C. contacts. If the motor goes into a over heat condition then the control relay drops out, the contacts of the relay open which in turn de-energizes the magnetic contactor and disconnects the motor from the supply voltage.
How can a relay be used to run a 9V electric motor?
A relay cannot be used to power a motor. It can be used to control the motor by wiring the motor circuit in series with the relay contacts.
Does overload relay detect phase reversing of the 3 phase motor?
No, three phase motor overloads just monitor the motor's lines for an overload. Once detected the circuit holding the magnetic starter in will drop out and take the motor off line.
What is a split phase motor with relay and capacitor called?
A capacitor start motor is a split phase motor that uses a capacitor in series with the start winding to cause a greater phase shift, resulting in greater starting torque. It uses a centrifugal switch to switch out the start winding and capacitor once the motor is up to speed. I assume this switch is what you're referring to as a "relay".
What is the working principle of phase failure relay?
A phase failure relay monitors the incoming three phase service lines. If the lines become reversed or loss of one phase causing single phasing, the relay's internal contacts change status. In control panels the control voltage usually is connected through the phase failure relay's auxiliary contacts. If any line anomalies occur the control voltage is cut off and the panel becomes inoperable. Once the line fault is corrected the fault relay senses that everything is alright and then allows the control voltage to power the control panel again.
3 phase reverse relay can be utilized for motor control speed?
3 phase reverse relay can be utilized to control 480V motor 60HZ for controlling their speedspeed.
How relay is used to control induction motor?
If you want to control induction motor using a control relay give neutral directly to the one point of coil of relay & one point of coil of contactor then give control supply through push button to second point of coil of relay. use one NO point of relay and give supply to coil of contactor. and also use one NO of contactor for holding the contactor & take OFF (NC) in the starting to stop motor after complition of work. It is jut like an Direct On-line starter.
How can you include phase failure relay in your star delta motor starter circuit?
The star delta motor starter circuit has to have a control voltage to energize the motor magnetic contractors. A phase failure relay monitors all three phases of the incoming supply lines. The phase failure relay also has auxiliary contacts on it. There are usually two sets of "C" form contacts. The control voltage for the starter circuit must be connected across the normally open (N.O.) contacts of one of these two sets. When the phase monitor is energized these N.O. contacts close supplying the control voltage to the circuitry of the star delta starters. If there is a phase interruption, phase reversal or phase loss, the phase failure relay will de-energize and the N.O. contacts will go back to their de-energized state. If the star delta motor starter is in use at the time, its control circuitry voltage will be lost and the delta motor magnetic contactor will open. The opening of this contactor will disconnect the motor from the failed three phase supply.

What is phase failure relay?
These relay sense the Negative Sequence Voltage components of system supply & offers protection against Phase Failure, Phase Sequence Reversal with Under/Over Voltage conditions which are dangerous to motor winding and cause motor burnouts.
