The BN18M EE Controls Bimetallic Overload is a thermal overload relay rated for 11–17 A, designed to provide reliable motor protection against sustained overload conditions. It operates via a bimetallic strip mechanism that trips the circuit automatically when current exceeds the set range, helping prevent motor burnout and extend equipment life.
This unit is typically used in conjunction with a compatible contactor in motor starter assemblies across industrial and commercial applications. Please contact our team with your contactor model or starter assembly details and we'll confirm fitment.
The BN18M is rated for a current range of 11 to 17 A, making it suitable for protecting single- or three-phase motors that fall within that full-load current range. Always verify your motor's nameplate FLA before selecting an overload setting.
EE Controls products can be difficult to source through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specialises in obsolete and hard-to-find electrical components — contact us with your requirements and we'll advise on current stock or a suitable cross-reference replacement.
Bimetallic overload relays in this class typically support both manual and automatic reset modes. We recommend confirming the reset configuration of your specific BN18M unit with our team, as wiring and application requirements (e.g., unattended machinery) may dictate which mode is appropriate under Canadian Electrical Code guidelines.
