ABB tf42-0.55 thermal overload relay 0.41a - 0.55a
MPN: 1SAZ721201R1017
Alt. SKU: TF42-0.55
Why Choose the TF42-0.55 [1SAZ721201R1017]
The TF42-0.55 thermal overload relay provides cost-effective electromechanical protection for motor circuits, ensuring reliable and rapid response to overloads and phase failures. Rated with a trip class 10, it incorporates temperature compensation for accurate operation under varying conditions. Key features include a normally closed trip contact, a normally open signal contact, selectable automatic or manual reset, a trip-free mechanism, a dedicated STOP function, and clear trip indication. Designed for direct mounting onto compatible block contactors, the relay can be installed efficiently with available single mounting kits as accessories.
