When the motor draws excess current, it is referred to as an overload. This may cause overheating of the motor and damage the windings of the motor. Because of this, it is important to protect the motor, motor branch circuit, and motor branch circuit components from overload conditions.
Need reliable, accurate overload and phase-loss protection for your motors? c3controls’ Series 320 Bimetallic Overload Relays provide unmatched protection and can be directly installed on all Series 300 Contactors, saving you time and panel space. Plus, cULus and CE markings make them applicable worldwide.
Full load current adjustment ratio of approximately 1:1.5 enables overload relay to be set to exact FLA of motor.
c3controls’ Series 320 Bimetallic Overload Relays provide Trip Class 10 overload protection for single and three-phase motors, and phase loss protection for three-phase motors. Small size, ease of installation and outstanding features like IP20 guarded terminals with dual terminal markings, integral stop button and direct mounting will help you reduce your total installed costs.
Overload relays provide Trip Class 10 protection against overload and phase-loss conditions, and have ambient temperature compensation for motor protection in high temperature environments.
UL Listed and CE marked, our Series 320 Overload Relays are designed to perform in a broad range of applications.
High fault short circuit current rating of 100kA @ 480V and 600V with Class J fuses, provides safety and reliability in high fault applications.
Trip Class 10 for reliable and accurate protection against overload conditions. Trips within 10 seconds when carrying a current of 720%.
IP20 guarded terminals with dual terminal markings prevent accidental contact with live parts.

Electric motors are an integral component of industrial equipment, toys, vehicles, and electronic devices. They are designed to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. These devices may be powered by AC or DC sources. Blowers, fans, compressors, cranes, extruders, and crushers are a few important devices equipped with electric motors.
This paper on Overload Relays covers the types of motors, explains overload protection, how an overload relay works, and the types of overload relays.
Induction motors, also referred to as a synchronous motor, is one of the main types of AC electric motors used in commercial and industrial environments. These motors feature armortisseur windings, and work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The electro-magnetic field in the rotor is produced by the rotating field of the stator. In short, the power is transferred to the rotor winding by stator through induction. There are two main types of induction motors — single-phase induction motors and three-phase induction motors.
