This lot of 20 Siemens Catalog #SMFH52 thermal unit overload relays is a great addition to your HVAC and refrigeration equipment. The units are brand new and have never been used before. They were manufactured in Mexico and are of excellent quality. These units are perfect for anyone in need of reliable and efficient thermal overload protection. They are easy to install and will provide years of trouble-free operation.

Product Description

These thermal units replace damaged or worn thermal units in overload relays. Thermal overloads prompt contactors to break electrical connections with downstream equipment once a set temperature is reached to protect connected loads from overheating and causing damage. They contain either bimetallic strips or melting alloy solder materials. When the current exceeds a predetermined threshold and temperatures rise, the material bends or liquefies, causing the thermal unit to break the circuit and cause the contactor to break its power contacts. As the materials cool down, they will return to their normally closed position and the circuit can be reset automatically or manually. Thermal units are required components of thermal-type overload relays and should be selected based on the appropriate operating conditions of the motor starter.
