Functional Features:

  • Bimetallic thermal element — heats and bends under overcurrent, triggering trip mechanism
  • Class 10/20/30 selectable — changes trip curve for different motor types
  • Manual reset — prevents auto-restart after overload
  • Phase-loss protection — trips on single-phasing (all 3 poles linked)
  • Replaceable element — swaps in/out without replacing entire starter

Applicable Industries:
All industrial motor applications — Pumps, Fans, Compressors, Conveyors, Machine Tools

Installation Requirements:

  • Install in 509-COD or 509-BOD starter bucket only
  • Set heater amp rating to match motor FLA (Full Load Amps) exactly
  • Use Class 10 for general-purpose motors, Class 20 for high-inertia loads (conveyors, crushers), Class 30 for very high-inertia (cranes, hoists)

Usage Notes:

  • The “XXX” must be replaced with the actual amperage — e.g., 509-FOD-25 for a 25 A heater
  • Never bypass or jumper the overload relay
  • Test trip function after installation by pushing the test button
