ABB tf42-16.0 thermal overload relay 13a - 16a
MPN: 1SAZ721201R1047
Alt. SKU: TF42-16
Why Choose the TF42-16 [1SAZ721201R1047]
The TF42-16 thermal overload relay provides cost-effective electromechanical protection for motor circuits, ensuring rapid and dependable 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 STOP function, and clear trip indication. Designed for direct mounting onto corresponding block contactors, the relay can also be installed using available single mounting kits for flexible integration.
