The BN55-A80 EE Controls Bimetallic Overload Relay is rated for 63–80 A and is designed to protect three-phase motors from sustained overload conditions using proven bimetallic thermal technology. It is intended for use in combination with a compatible contactor, providing motor branch-circuit protection in industrial and commercial control panels, motor control centres (MCCs), and starter assemblies.
Contactor and mounting base compatibility depends on your existing starter assembly. Send us your contactor model and panel details and we'll confirm the right fit.
The BN55 series overload relay is designed to mount directly onto compatible EE Controls contactors within the same frame family. Because contactor pairing is model-specific, we recommend sending us your contactor model number so we can confirm a direct-mount match or identify a suitable adapter solution.
Yes — the BN55-A80 features an adjustable dial within the 63–80 A range. You set the current to match your motor's full-load amperage (FLA) as listed on the motor nameplate. Always refer to the relay's instruction sheet and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 28 for proper overload sizing requirements.
