Ideally an overload relay should be set above maximum load by some small amount, but below the capability of the electrical circuits being protected. For example, breakers in your home are designed for overload protection; typical home wiring is 14 awg - 12 awg. If you have a 14 awg wire (good for 15A), you may install a 10A breaker, but if needed could install a 15A breaker depending on codes. A 20A breaker would not provide overload protection since it is too big. It would provide fault protection.
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 Allen-Bradley 193-EF1A overload relay functions by monitoring the current flowing through the motor circuit. It uses thermal and electronic sensing to detect overload conditions, which occur when the current exceeds a preset limit for a specified duration. When an overload is detected, the relay opens its contacts to interrupt the motor circuit, thereby protecting the motor from damage. The relay can be reset manually or automatically, depending on the specific model and configuration.
Thermal overload contacts are typically reset manually after a trip event. This is done by pressing a reset button or switch on the overload relay or control device. In some designs, automatic reset features may be included, where the device automatically resets after a cooling period. However, manual reset is more common to ensure that the cause of the overload is addressed before restarting the equipment.
what is the inverse time of the theraml overload?
due to the extension of loads they are using the relays for protection.........
there is a bi metalic strip is thre in thermal overload relay so when the currtent is high then its settings so that strip bend due to thermal and it touches the other side of the contact so when u touch the tester on that side u will find that its overload if u dont under stand contact me......

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 device with an overload protection used to control a motor is an Overload Relay.

The 59N relay may be tripping the breaker due to circuit overload, short circuit, or ground fault. Check for any faulty connections, damaged wires, or improper settings on the relay. Ensure that the relay is properly sized for the load it is protecting and troubleshoot any potential issues in the circuit.
If you are describing a circuit breaker then its electromagnetic trip component will operate in the event of a line*-to-ground (*not 'phase'!) short circuit. The thermal overload component will only operate in the event of a sustained overload.
The bimetallic thermal relay consists of a small bimetallic strip that is heated by an element connected in series with the supply. When the current rises above a preset value, the movement of the strip releases a catch which opens the trip contacts. In recent years more modern electronic relays are used which simulate the thermal overload. Many of these relays also incorporate a memory, i.e. simulates the temperature rise / cooling curve of the winding.
