Overload Relays – Panel Mount<br />

This section lists panel mounted overload relays which may<br />

be used to replace starter mounted overload relays that are<br />

no longer available.<br />

While most of these overload relays require incoming <strong>and</strong><br />

outgoing wiring, using the Siemens ESP200 is much easier.<br />

Simply pass the wiring straight through the device <strong>and</strong><br />

connect it directly to the load side of the contactor.<br />

Technical Note<br />

Sizing Overload Relays for Wye-Delta Applications<br />

At <strong>Access</strong> <strong>Elevator</strong> <strong>Supply</strong> we often see overload relays that are<br />

incorrectly sized or misadjusted. The motor data tag will provide you<br />

with the full load amperage (FLA) of the motor or you can calculate the<br />

FLA from the motor HP <strong>and</strong> line voltage.<br />

The FLA is your starting point for sizing <strong>and</strong> setting the overload. Since<br />

electronic overload relays with an adjustable range are most accurate<br />

at mid scale, you should select an overload that meets that criteria if<br />

possible.<br />

Select the Right Setting<br />

For across the line motors, the overload should be initially set at the<br />

motor FLA. From that point, you can gradually dial down to where<br />

nuisance tripping begins, then bump it up from there.<br />

For wye-delta motors, the overload relay should be initially set at the<br />

motor FLA x .58. For example, a 100A FLA would be set at 58A. This is<br />

because this type motor runs at a reduced current inside the delta, where<br />

the overload relay is connected.<br />

Where does the .58 multiplier come from? Well, obviously it is the<br />

inverse of the square root of 3. But then you already knew that. From<br />

your initial setting, dial down as described above until you are above<br />

nuisance tripping.<br />

Remember that overloads are a safety item. An improperly sized or<br />

adjusted overload can have unintentional consequences.<br />

• Easy installation. Just run motor wires through the overload relay<br />

• No heaters required. Simple adjustment via front mounted dial<br />

• Wide adjustment range. Four overload relay part numbers cover<br />

most applications<br />

• Phase unbalance <strong>and</strong> phase loss protection. Protects motor from<br />

burning out*<br />

• Selectable reset mode. Manual or automatic<br />

• Selectable trip classes. Class 5, 10, 20 or 30<br />

• Ambient compensated. Unaffected by ambient temperature<br />

• Includes test button <strong>and</strong> trip indicator. Easy to troubleshoot<br />

• Motor ground fault protection. Protects motor against ground faults<br />

due to moisture, insulation damage*<br />
