FA125410

30 September 2021

Issue:
Does the LRD overload relay line protect the motor from single phasing?

Product Line:
IEC contactors and starters

Environment:
Products sold and used in the United States

Cause:
Identifying product characteristics

Resolution:
These overloads meet the definition and requirements of single phase sensitivity as stated in IEC 60947. For the best protection if single phasing is likely to be present, use a phase failure relay in addition to the overload.
