ABB tf42-13.0 thermal overload relay 10a - 13a
MPN: 1SAZ721201R1045
Alt. SKU: TF42-13
Why Choose the TF42-13 [1SAZ721201R1045]
The TF42-13 thermal overload relay provides cost-effective electromechanical protection for main motor circuits. Designed to deliver reliable and rapid response to overloads and phase failures, it features a trip class 10 rating for precise motor safeguarding. Key technical attributes include temperature compensation, a normally closed trip contact, a normally open signal contact, and selectable automatic or manual reset modes. The device incorporates a trip-free mechanism, an integrated STOP function, and clear trip indication for straightforward diagnostics. These overload relays mount directly onto compatible block contactors, with single mounting kits available as optional accessories to ensure secure and efficient installation.
