The EE Controls BN55-A40 is a bimetallic overload relay rated for 22–40 A, designed to protect three-phase and single-phase motors from damage caused by sustained overcurrent and overheating. It operates by sensing excess heat generated through the bimetallic element and tripping to disconnect the motor circuit before damage occurs. The BN55 series is suited for use in industrial motor starters, control panels, and machine control applications. Contact our team with your contactor model and motor FLA rating to confirm compatibility with your specific setup.
The BN55-A40 has an adjustable current range of 22–40 A. The set current is typically adjusted via a dial on the relay body. You should set it to match your motor's Full Load Amperage (FLA) as shown on the motor nameplate, ensuring accurate overload protection without nuisance tripping.
The BN55-A40 is designed for use within the EE Controls BN55 series and is intended to mount directly onto compatible EE Controls contactors. Compatibility with contactors from other manufacturers depends on mechanical mounting dimensions and auxiliary contact configuration. Send us your contactor model number and we'll confirm whether the BN55-A40 is a direct fit.
