You have the option of adding a thermal overload with the selection of "Protect my Motor."

A thermal overload relay provides several important benefits:

• Protection Against Overheating: The primary benefit is protecting the motor and associated equipment from overheating. The thermal overload relay senses the heat generated by excessive current and disconnects the power if the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, preventing damage to the motor windings.
  
• Extending Equipment Lifespan: Regularly protecting the motor from overheating can extend its operational life by preventing the stress and wear associated with high temperatures.
• Automatic Reset Options: Some thermal overload relays have automatic reset features, which can restore power once the device has cooled down. This can minimize downtime in less critical applications.
• Customization and Adjustability: Thermal overload relays can often be adjusted to match the specific requirements of the motor or system, ensuring optimal protection tailored to the application's needs. We preset the overload relay to the recommend maximum amperage of the equipment.
• Indication of Fault Conditions: Many thermal overload relays provide visual or electrical indications when a trip has occurred, helping operators quickly identify and address fault conditions.

By integrating a thermal overload relay with a contact block, you ensure that the electrical system has a reliable and effective means of preventing overheating and the associated risks, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the equipment.
