Thermal Relays for Motor Overload Protection: Principles, Selection, and ApplicationIn motor control systems, fuses are primarily used for short-circuit protection. However, they cannot protect against overheating caused by prolonged overloading, frequent forward-reverse operation, or undervoltage operation. Currently, thermal relays are widely used for motor overload protection. A thermal relay is a protective device that operates based on the thermal effect of electric current, and is essentia

What is a Relay?A relay is an electrical switch that uses electromagnetic force to control the opening and closing of one or more electrical circuits. It typically consists of core components such as an electromagnet, contacts, and springs. When the coil of the electromagnet is energized, it generates a magnetic field that attracts or releases an armature, thereby driving the contacts to actuate and achieve circuit connection or disconnection.Classification of RelaysRelays are primarily divided
