ABB tf96-87 thermal overload relay 75a - 87a
MPN: 1SAZ911201R1005
Alt. SKU: TF96-87
Why Choose the TF96-87 [1SAZ911201R1005]
The TF96-87 thermal overload relay provides cost-effective, electromechanical protection for main motor circuits. Designed to deliver reliable and rapid response to overload conditions and phase failure, it features a trip class 10 rating for precise thermal protection. Key functions include temperature compensation, a normally closed trip contact, a normally open signal contact, and selectable automatic or manual reset options. The device incorporates a trip-free mechanism, a STOP function, and clear trip indication for straightforward diagnostics. These overload relays mount directly onto compatible block contactors, with single mounting kits available as accessories for flexible installation.
