IMO U12/16E6-MC thermal overload relay with 4–6 A adjustable protection range, manual reset and direct mounting for MC10–MC22 contactors.
Original price was: £39.60.£26.32Current price is: £26.32.
The IMO U12/16E6-MC is a compact and dependable thermal overload relay designed to provide reliable protection for industrial electric motors operating in automation and motor control systems. As part of the IMO U12/16E overload relay series, it protects motors against overload currents, overheating and phase failure conditions while integrating directly with compatible IMO contactors.
This overload relay provides adjustable thermal protection with a manual reset function, helping prevent motor damage caused by excessive current draw and prolonged overload operation. Its direct contactor mounting design allows straightforward installation within motor starter assemblies and electrical control panels.
With an adjustable current setting range of 4–6 A, star-delta motor protection capability of 7–10.5 A, and compatibility with IMO MC10–MC22 contactors, the IMO U12/16E6-MC is suitable for protecting small and medium-sized motors used in conveyors, pumps, compressors and industrial machinery.
Thermal overload relays such as the IMO U12/16E6-MC monitor motor current and disconnect the control circuit when prolonged overload conditions occur. This helps reduce the risk of overheating, winding damage and premature motor failure in industrial environments.
The U12/16E series is designed for machine builders, electrical engineers and control panel manufacturers requiring dependable motor protection integrated with contactor starter assemblies. Its adjustable settings and compact construction provide a practical solution for industrial motor control systems.
