T16 are economical, electromechanical motor protection devices for currents up to 16 A. In case of overload, they offer reliable thermal protection of the connected motors. T16 are normally mounted on small contactors B/BC or AS/ASL contactors, but with the help of a stand-alone installation set, the devices can also be mounted separately on DIN rails. If the motor current set on the current scale is exceeded, the relays trigger via bimetal elements and thus change the switching position of the two auxiliary contacts 1S/1NC. An upstream contactor is then switched off. The relays allow manual or automatic resetting, they have a test and stop function as well as a trip display. An additional reset button allows operation without opening the control cabinet. T16 have tripping class 10, are temperature compensated and phase failure sensitive.
