Motors used in industrial manufacturing can be easily overloaded—and that’s where a thermal unit can really help you out. Thermal units protect motors by tripping or shutting off circuits when temperatures get too hot, which can very quickly damage or totally disable a motor. Overload relays are available as well. If you need a motor starter in addition to your thermal unit, check out our magnetic motor starters and manual motor starters.
Frequently Asked Questions
Thermal Units, also known as Thermal Breakers, are automatic reset devices that monitor and limit electrical current in circuits by activating when the temperature rises too high.
Thermal Units are crucial for preventing electrical fires and damage to equipment by cutting off power when excessive heat is detected.
Selecting the appropriate Thermal Unit depends on the amperage and voltage requirements of your circuit. Make sure to consult an electrician or refer to the manufacturer's specifications.
