People Electric · Thermal Overload Relay
Product overview
Original People Electric JR20 thermal overload relays protect AC motors against sustained overload and phase loss. The setting range must contain the motor rated current and match the relay frame. Use with the correctly matched switching device and separately coordinated short-circuit protection.
Technical selection summary
| Manufacturer / series | Original People Electric JR20 |
|---|---|
| Product function | Thermal motor overload and phase-loss protection; use a separately coordinated short-circuit protective device |
| Main-circuit operating voltage | AC 660V |
| Main-circuit frequency | 50/60Hz |
| Trip class | Class 10A: JR20-10, -16, -25, -63. Class 10: -160, -250, -400, -630. |
| Auxiliary circuit | Auxiliary circuit Ui 660V, Ith 6A; AC-15: 1.9A at 220V, 1.1A at 380V; DC-13: 0.2A at 220V. |
| Setting selection | Choose a frame first, then one documented adjustment interval for that frame. Set the relay to the actual motor/load current. |
| Control supply | Thermal bimetal relay; no independent contactor-coil voltage option is specified on this page. Auxiliary-circuit voltage ratings are contact-switching ratings. |
| Protection coordination | This relay is not a short-circuit circuit breaker. Fuse/SCPD references and conductor recommendations are in the complete catalogue. |
| Ambient / altitude | -5 to +40°C, daily average ≤35°C; altitude ≤2,000m |
| Installation environment | Pollution degree 3; installation category III; normal mounting within ±5° without excessive impact or vibration |
| Standards stated | GB 14048.4; IEC 60947-4-1 |
| JR20-10 adjustment intervals | 0.1–0.15A, 0.15–0.23A, 0.23–0.35A, 0.35–0.53A, 0.53–0.8A, 0.8–1.2A, 1.2–1.8A, 1.8–2.6A, 2.6–3.8A, 3.2–4.8A, 4–6A, 5–7A, 6–8.4A, 7–10A, 8.6–11.6A |
| JR20-16 adjustment intervals | 3.6–5.4A, 5.4–8A, 8–12A, 10–14A, 12–16A, 14–18A |
| JR20-25 adjustment intervals | 7.8–11.6A, 11.6–17A, 17–25A, 21–29A |
| JR20-63 adjustment intervals | 16–24A, 24–36A, 32–47A, 40–55A, 47–62A, 55–71A |
| JR20-160 adjustment intervals | 33–47A, 47–63A, 63–84A, 74–98A, 85–115A, 100–130A, 115–150A, 130–170A, 144–176A |
| JR20-250 adjustment intervals | 130–195A, 167–250A |
| JR20-400 adjustment intervals | 200–300A, 267–400A |
| JR20-630 adjustment intervals | 320–480A, 420–630A |
| Installation codes | L = separate installation |
This page offers the separate-installation L version. Z combined versions and rail arrangements require separate confirmation. Setting buttons show the minimum and maximum of the adjustment interval; the middle numbers in the original table are calibration marks. Frame code and range endpoint need not be equal. Product photographs are original series illustrations and can show other frames or installation versions.
Typical applications
- Thermal overload and phase-loss protection of AC motor circuits.
- Motor-starter control circuits using the correctly matched contactor and coordinated short-circuit protection.
