People Electric · Thermal Overload Relay
Product overview
Original People Electric JR36 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 JR36 |
|---|---|
| Product function | Thermal motor overload and phase-loss protection; use a separately coordinated short-circuit protective device |
| Main-circuit operating voltage | AC 690V |
| Main-circuit frequency | 50Hz |
| Trip class | Class 10A: JR36-20 and -32. Class 10: -63 and -160. |
| Auxiliary circuit | Auxiliary circuit Ui 380V, Ith 10A; source table states rated operating current 0.47A without a voltage/category matrix. |
| 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 |
| JR36-20 adjustment intervals | 0.25–0.35A, 0.32–0.5A, 0.45–0.72A, 0.68–1.1A, 1–1.6A, 1.5–2.4A, 2.2–3.5A, 3.2–5A, 4.5–7.2A, 6.8–11A, 10–16A, 14–22A |
| JR36-32 adjustment intervals | 10–16A, 14–22A, 20–32A |
| JR36-63 adjustment intervals | 14–22A, 20–32A, 28–45A, 40–63A |
| JR36-160 adjustment intervals | 40–63A, 53–85A, 75–120A, 100–160A |
JR36 identification follows the PDF title, model diagram, specification table and ordering section. Do not treat the isolated JRS36 spelling in the introduction as another selectable series. Installation dimensions differ by frame; confirm the mounting position and load setting before ordering. 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.
