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.

How does a thermal overload control a circuit when the phase short to ground?

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.


How do you check the thermal overload protection?

multimeter from 1 end to the other.


How do you check tripping of thermal overload relay?

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......


How lt motors are protected?

Motors are protected in two ways. Against a short circuit by fuses or breakers. Against overload by thermal overload heaters.


What Types of equipment use thermal overload protection?

All types electromechanical and electronics. It is a design precaution to insure that cannot be any thermal runaway


Are recessed lights thermally protected?

Yes, all recessed lights have thermal protection, normally a bi-metal thermal overload. They must be to receive a U.L., (Underwriters Laboratories) approval sticker and be allowed to be sold in the U.S. The overload works on heat, not current, so that if you say put a 200 watt lamp into a fixture rated for 60 watt maximum, the overload will overheat and open the circuit.


How is thermal overload protection done in stator windings of motor?

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


How to test a motor Thermal protection?

depend on to existence of test equepment. if we have a single phase injection current and we want test the thermal overload we have to do serie the heater and inject current two time of thier setting.


Is it safe to use the unit even if your compressor is over heat?

Compressors have a thermal overload built inside that will shut down the compressor if the conditions are critical.

Magnetic overload device are the most accurate type of device for electrical protection?

Magnetic overload devices are not the most accurate type of device for electrical protection. They primarily provide short-circuit protection by quickly tripping in response to a large overload current. For more accurate protection, electronic overload devices, such as thermal-magnetic or electronic trip breakers, are commonly used as they can provide adjustable trip settings and offer better precision for different load conditions.
