Application
Technical data
• All the relays have:
– Free tripping: the resetting button, even if held in, does not prevent tripping of the thermal overload relay in the
event of a fault.
– Temperature compensation
– Phase failure protection according to IEC 947-4-1: Within the limits of the setting range, a reduced tripping time, and
thus improved motor protection, is obrtained in case of a phase failure.
– Tripping class: 10A, for TA relays
– Test functions and resetting: see table below.
• Auxiliary contacts
The relays have two built in auxiliary contacts: NC marked 95-96; NO marked 97-98. Both contacts are physically separate
and can thus be used for 2 different circuits (control circuit and indication circuit).
Main characteristics
Construction 3 pole with ambient temperature variation compensation.
Protection against single phase operation. Built in auxiliary contacts: 1N.O. + 1N.C.

Application
• The DS25-A coil is used for remote electrical tripping of the TA25 DU thermal O/L relay and is connected to the relay's
normally closed 95-96 auxiliary contact.
• The DR 25-A coil is used for remote electrical resetting of the TA25DU thermal O/L relay which is
adjusted for “Manual resetting;” it is connected to the relay’s normally open 97-98 auxiliary contact.
The coils are not designed for continuous duty. Impulse duration: 0.2 to 0.35 s.
Set the button to “Man” (Manual resetting).
Mounting: clipped on to TA25DU thermal O/L relay.

Motor Protection — general
It is very important to choose an adequate protective device for the safety of the motor during operation and for its durability.
The efficiency of protection methods varies according to the application. The overview below will help you to choose.
There is no general rule and we are available to advise you for special applications and especially in the case of difficult starting.
Protective devices and efficiency

SPEM
M M M M
3~ 3~ 3~ 3~
Note: Fuses
Protection efficiency: Fuses do not protect motors against overloads. They are only used to protect installations and lines against short circuits.
To ensure efficient protection of a motor against short circuits, it is advisable to use aM type fuses in association with thermal
❑ unsuitable OLR relays.
For the selection of fuses or circuit-breakers, refer to the indications given in this catalogue concerning contactors on the one
■ very average efficiency
hand and thermal O/L relays on the other.
● perfectly efficient In general, fuse protection for direct-on-line starting must be sized as follows:
– aM fuses: choose the fuse rating immediately above the full load value of the motor current.
– gG (gI) fuses: determine the fuse rating immediately above the motor current value and choose the next highest fuse rating.
TA-DU thermal O/L relays are 3-pole with manual or automatic resetting mode selection.
The resetting button can also be used for stopping.
Built-in auxiliary contacts are physically separate and, consequently, can be used in different circuits (control circuit/indication circuit).
Each relay is temperature compensated and ensures phase failure protection.
Protective relays up to size TA75DU are protected against direct contact via the front face. Terminal shrouds are available for TA200DU to TA450DU size relays.
The connecting terminals are delivered in open position with (+,-) pozidriv screws and screwdriver guidance. It is advisable to tighten unused terminal screws.

IEC publication 947-4-1 defines coordination Types 1 & 2:
• Type 1 – Coordination requires that, in the event of a short circuit,
the contactor or starter does not endanger persons or installations
and will not be able to operate without being repaired or parts being
replaced.
• Type 2 – Coordination requires that, in short circuit conditions, the
contactor or starter does not endanger persons or installations and
will be able to operate afterwards. The risk of contacts being welded
is acceptable. In this case, the manufacturer must stipulate the
measures to be taken with respect to maintenance of the equipment.
