The EE Controls BN18G Bimetallic Overload Relay is rated for a current range of 2.8–4 A, making it well-suited for protecting small to medium three-phase motors in industrial and commercial applications. It monitors motor current and automatically trips on sustained overload or phase imbalance, guarding against thermal damage.
Not sure if the BN18G pairs with your existing contactor or enclosure? Send us your contactor model and panel details and we'll confirm compatibility.
The BN18G is designed to mount directly to compatible EE Controls contactors in the BN/BN18 series. If you're unsure whether it pairs with your existing contactor, send us the contactor model number and we can confirm fitment before you order.
The 2.8–4 A range is the overload relay's adjustable trip current. You should set it to match your motor's full-load amperage (FLA) as listed on the motor nameplate. For a motor drawing 3.5 A FLA, for example, you would dial the relay to 3.5 A. Always verify the setting against your motor's nameplate and applicable CSA/NEC requirements.
Northern Breaker Group specializes in hard-to-find and obsolete electrical components, and we maintain stock of legacy EE Controls overload relays including the BN18G series. Contact us or visit one of our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for current availability, and we can also help identify a cross-reference if a direct replacement is needed.
