BN22Q EE Controls Bimetallic Overload

The BN22Q is adjustable across a 32–50 A range. To select the correct setting, match the relay's adjustment to your motor's Full Load Amperage (FLA) as shown on the motor nameplate. The set current should equal the motor FLA — or slightly above if the manufacturer's documentation permits — to allow normal starting inrush while still tripping on a sustained overload.

The BN22Q is a bimetallic overload relay and is typically configured for manual reset, meaning it must be manually reset after a trip event before the motor circuit can be re-energised. This is the preferred setting in most industrial applications to prevent unintended automatic restarts. Confirm the reset mode with your installer or contact our team if you need clarification for your specific application.
