Schneider Electric LR2D1312

Reliable Motor Protection in Compact Form

The Schneider Electric LR2D1312 is a bimetallic overload relay that offers exceptional motor protection in industrial environments. With an adjustable current range of 5.50 to 8.00 amps and a voltage capacity of up to 575VAC, this relay is engineered to detect and respond to overload conditions quickly and accurately. It plays a crucial role in preventing motor damage due to overheating, phase failure, or prolonged startup times, helping to reduce downtime and extend equipment life. Built for use with IEC contactors, it seamlessly integrates into motor starters for consistent performance in demanding applications.

Precision Thermal Overload Detection

At the heart of the LR2D1312 is a high-quality bimetallic sensing mechanism that provides thermal overload protection by simulating the heating characteristics of a motor. When an overload condition is detected, the bimetal elements heat up and bend, triggering the relay to interrupt the circuit. This mechanical response mimics the delay characteristics of a motor, allowing it to ride through minor fluctuations while protecting against true overloads. This precision makes it a trusted solution in manufacturing, HVAC, material handling, and process automation industries.

Easy Configuration and Reset Features

One of the key benefits of the LR2D1312 overload relay is its user-friendly configuration. The adjustable current dial lets operators fine-tune the protection range to match the specific motor's full load current, ensuring optimal protection without nuisance tripping. The unit features manual and automatic reset modes, allowing flexibility based on the application's safety and recovery requirements. A built-in test button provides additional diagnostic capabilities, helping maintenance teams verify system functionality without disconnecting components.

Compact, Durable, and Compatible Design

The LR2D1312 features a compact, rugged design that fits easily into standard control panels and enclosures. Its compatibility with IEC contactors makes it an ideal replacement or upgrade solution for various existing systems. The unit is designed with high-quality materials to withstand industrial environments, including exposure to vibration, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Its compact footprint allows efficient panel space usage without compromising protection or performance.
