This is the IMO Controls TB06C Thermal Overload Relay - a Motor Protection Relay for Industrial Starters available at SparksDirect for the best price. Purchase this item with confidence at Sparks today.
The IMO Controls TB06C is a thermal overload relay designed to protect electric motors from overload, overheating, and phase imbalance in industrial and commercial motor control systems. It is typically installed alongside a compatible contactor or motor starter assembly, where it helps prevent motor damage caused by excessive current draw, stalled motors, or prolonged overload conditions. This is not a switching relay, interface relay, or timer, but a dedicated motor protection device used in control panels, machinery, pumps, compressors, conveyors, and HVAC applications.
The TB06C is usually mounted within motor starter assemblies, control panels, switchboards, and industrial enclosures, where it works in conjunction with a matching contactor to provide reliable overload protection. When abnormal load conditions occur, the relay trips and disconnects the control circuit to help safeguard the motor and associated equipment.
