Littelfuse Protection Relays
Littelfuse Protection Relays are designed to help protect motors and industrial equipment by monitoring electrical conditions and responding to fault events before damage occurs. Commonly installed in control panels, motor control centers (MCCs), and OEM machinery, these relays support safer operation and improved uptime by detecting abnormal operating states and triggering a protective output to stop or isolate the affected circuit.
For motor applications, Littelfuse protection relays help reduce the risk of overheating and premature failure caused by electrical and thermal stress. Typical fault conditions include overload, phase loss, phase imbalance, locked-rotor events, and thermal overload. These relays are frequently applied on pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, and other rotating equipment used in manufacturing, water and wastewater facilities, material handling systems, and energy-related infrastructure.
Littelfuse electronic and overload protection relays are available in compact formats suited for modern panel layouts. Many models support DIN-rail or panel mounting and provide adjustable settings to match motor FLA and application requirements. By integrating protection and monitoring functions into a single device, Littelfuse relays help simplify motor starter designs and provide consistent protection performance across a wide range of industrial automation systems.
FAQs
Q: What are Littelfuse protection relays used for in industrial applications?
Littelfuse protection relays are used to detect electrical and thermal fault conditions and protect motors and equipment from damage. They are commonly installed in control panels, MCCs, and OEM machinery to improve safety, reliability, and system uptime.
Q: What types of protection relays does Littelfuse offer?
