A Thermal Relay is an important protective device that safeguards electrical equipment from overheating and overloading conditions. It operates by responding to changes in temperature caused by excessive current in the circuit, preventing potential damage to equipment and ensuring. So, the thermal relay is one of the types of the relay, used to provide complete safety against single phasing, unbalanced voltages & overloads. What is a Thermal Overload Relay? As the name suggests, a thermal overload relay protects a machine or a power system network against a fault due to. Structurally, the standard electrothermal relay is a small apparatus that consists of a sensitive bimetallic plate, a heating coil, a lever-spring system and electrical contacts. Also known as a thermal overload relay, it operates on the principle of heat generated by.
