The BN18I EE Controls Bimetallic Overload is an essential component designed to protect motors from overheating due to excessive current. Featuring reliable bimetallic technology, it ensures accurate trip settings and long-lasting performance. Ideal for various industrial applications, this overload is a must-have for maintaining motor efficiency and preventing costly downtime.
The BN18I is designed to pair with EE Controls contactor and motor-starter assemblies. Compatibility depends on the specific contactor series and frame size used in your panel or starter block. Send us your contactor model number and we'll confirm whether the BN18I is the correct overload relay for your application.
The 5.6–8 A range indicates the adjustable full-load current (FLC) trip setting of the overload relay. You should set the dial to match the full-load amp (FLA) rating shown on your motor's nameplate. This ensures the relay trips accurately if the motor draws sustained current above its rated level, protecting it from thermal damage. Always refer to the motor nameplate and applicable Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requirements when setting overloads.
