Schneider Electric (Square D) LRD12 Overload Relay 5.5-8A

The Schneider Electric (Square D) LRD12 Overload Relay 5.5-8A is a motor protection component, which is utilized to monitor current draw and interrupt control circuits in case of overload. It is primarily used in the protection of motors where too much amperage in the adjustable 5.5 to 8 amp range is detected. The relay involves a thermal action that responds to continuous overcurrent and reports out before the occurrence of the damage. Fitting is carried out by mounting compatible contactors in control panels. This overload relay assist to stabilize the operation of the motors to reduce the chances of damage.
