Why Choose the IMO MT5-8 Thermal Overload Relay?
The IMO MT5-8 is a reliable thermal overload relay designed to protect three-phase electric motors against overload conditions and phase failure. Engineered for industrial motor control systems, it helps prevent costly motor damage by disconnecting the control circuit before excessive temperatures can affect motor windings.
With an adjustable current range of 8–11 A, the MT5-8 provides accurate overload protection for a wide range of industrial motors. Its adjustable settings allow engineers to match the relay to the motor's full-load current, ensuring dependable protection and improved equipment reliability.
Designed for direct mounting to compatible IMO contactors, the MT5-8 offers compact installation, straightforward commissioning and selectable manual or automatic reset functionality, making it ideal for control panels, machinery and OEM motor starter assemblies.
