1SAX341001R1101 ABB - EF96-100

The 1SAX341001R1101, also known as the EF96-100, is an electric thermal overload relay manufactured by ABB. This device is designed to provide reliable protection for electrical motors and circuits against overload conditions. It offers adjustable current ranges from 36 to 100 Amperes, catering to a variety of motor sizes and applications. The EF96-100 features selectable trip classes, specifically 10, 20, and 30, allowing users to customize the response time based on the specific load characteristics. These trip classes determine how quickly the relay will trip in response to an overload, providing flexibility for different motor starting and operating conditions. The relay operates on the thermal principle, meaning it uses heat generated by the current flowing through it to detect overloads. When the current exceeds the set threshold, the relay trips, interrupting the circuit and preventing damage to the connected equipment. The EF96-100 is a crucial component in motor control centers and other industrial applications where motor protection is paramount. Its robust design and adjustable settings make it a versatile solution for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of electrical systems. It is designed to protect motors from overheating and potential damage due to prolonged overcurrent situations. This overload relay is an essential part of a comprehensive motor protection strategy.
