Benshaw Starter Overload Relays
Benshaw offers a complete suite of products for motor control and protection. At the core of their motor protection solutions are overload relays designed to prevent damage to three-phase and single-phase motors caused by excessive electrical current. These relays (more correctly referred to as starters with overload protection) serve two functions: They trip the motor circuit when dangerous overcurrents occur and when they don't stop tripping during a nuisance fault, and they also prevent phase loss and overheating of the motor.
Adjustable overload relays from Benshaw allow for fine-tuning the relay to the motor's protection requirements. Both thermal and electronic versions are available, providing application-based flexibility. The relays are straightforward to install and integrate with perfectly with control devices. Convenience and safety are taken care of in both manual and automatic reset options.
