How to set an overload in a motor?..

Answer / vinod g

Over load relay is setting normaly at 100% of rated
current, also we can set at reduced current if load current
less and constant.Also overload relay have AUTO & MANUAL
Reset mode. ie in AUTO it get reset automatically with time
delay based on motor temprature reduction. Manual mode we
have to reset on every trip.
