ABB EF45-30 electronic overload relay with adjustable 9.0-30 A setting range, selectable trip classes and integrated phase failure protection for industrial motor control applications.
Why Choose the ABB EF45-30 Electronic Overload Relay?
The ABB EF45-30 Electronic Overload Relay (Part Number: 1SAX221001R1101) is a high-performance electronic motor overload protection relay designed to provide accurate protection for three-phase motors against overload, phase failure and overheating. As part of the robust ABB EF45 electronic overload relay series, it delivers reliable motor protection while helping maximise equipment uptime in demanding industrial environments.
Unlike conventional thermal overload relays, the EF45-30 uses advanced electronic sensing technology to provide highly accurate motor protection across a wide operating temperature range. The relay is self-powered, requiring no external control supply, and offers selectable trip classes to accommodate a variety of motor starting characteristics. Direct mounting onto compatible ABB AF contactors enables fast and simple installation.
With an adjustable current setting range of 9.0-30 A, integrated auxiliary contacts and industrial-grade construction, the EF45-30 is ideally suited for protecting larger motors used in pumps, compressors, conveyors, HVAC systems, process equipment and industrial automation applications.
