MK-1 relays protect a motor by sensing the current going to the motor. Many of these use small heaters, often bi-metallic elements that bend when warmed by the current to the motor. When current is too high for too long, heaters open the relay contacts carrying current to the coil of the contactor.
A device with an overload protection used to control a motor is an Overload Relay.

a relay that detects the amperage the motor is drawing when the motor dwaws too much to drops out the coil voltage to shut down motor and prevent damage
one way is to use RTD sensor put inside the motor windings. The RTD sensor is connected to an electronic thermal overload relay. This type of relay can provide running temperature of the motor, on the electronic thermal over load relay display panel. RTD sensor is a wire wound resistor that changes resistance depending on the temperature
A motor protection circuit breaker (MPCB) is used to protect from overload and/or short circuit currents. An overload relay is used for overload only, and as such will have a relatively long delay before tripping. Also, I believe some overload relays are a one-use device (once tripped, they must be replaced), and I don't believe this is the case with MPCBs (could be wrong though). If you look at a manual for a MPCB, you'll see the tripping curve is two curves in one - at low currents, it is very slow (time in hours), but once you get above load currents, it speeds up significantly down to a few cycles, which is what you want for faults / short circuit conditions. An overload relay will have the first (slow) curve only. Do a google search for Cutler - Hammer (or go to their website) for some examples.
due to the extension of loads they are using the relays for protection.........
An overload relay is fundamentally a board that protects the relay from overloads. It works on the science of being an AC inductor..

The primary purpose of Operation Overload was to open pathways into the country. The targets were the northern and western fronts.

The load current is made to flow through the thermal overload relay, which is actually a bimetalic strip. Beyond a prespecified current the bimetalic strip tend to deflect due to heat (thermal effect) thus cutting off the circuit and hence it acts as an over load relay protection.
The Purpose of a Relay is to control multiple electrical components at once.
