MOTOR TEMPERATURE RELAY



VCM010 PTC relay for motors: thermal protection with the PTC thermistors in the winding. 22.5 mm DIN housing, 1 x SPDT 8A.

Product type: Motor thermal protection relay
Installation: DIN rail, 22.5 mm
Function: Trips on winding over-temperature
Sensor: Motor PTC thermistors, several in series

Features

  • ✓Monitors the winding temperature directly with the motor's own PTCs
  • ✓Accepts several PTCs in series, up to 1500 Ω at 20 °C
  • ✓Sensor break: the output stays off (fail-safe)
  • ✓Green supply LED and red output-on LED
  • ✓Narrow 22.5 mm housing for DIN rail

How it works

  1. 1The winding PTC thermistors are connected to terminals Y1-Y2.
  2. 2On power-up, if the temperature is below the PTC rated value, the output switches on and the motor can run.
  3. 3When the temperature exceeds the rated value, the output switches off and stops the motor.
  4. 4If the sensor breaks, the output stays off.

Frequently asked questions

How many PTCs can be connected?

Several in series, as long as they do not exceed 1500 Ω at an ambient temperature of 20 °C.

What happens if the sensor breaks?

The output stays off: the motor cannot run without protection.

Which output does it have?

One changeover contact: 1 x SPDT 8A.
