United States Industry Standards (NEMA ICS 2 Part 4) designate an overload relay by a
class number indicating the maximum time in seconds at which it will trip when carrying a
current equal to 600 percent of its current rating.
A Class 10 overload relay will trip in 10 seconds or less at a current equal to 600 percent of
its rating.
A Class 20 overload relay will trip in 20 seconds or less at a current equal to 600 percent of
its rating.
A Class 30 overload relay will trip in 30 seconds or less at a current equal to 600 percent of
its rating.
Allen-Bradley standard overload relay protection is provided using Type W heater elements
for the 500 Line. This provides Class 20 operation and is recommended for General
Applications.
Specific Applications may require Class 10 or Class 30 overload relays. Class 10 overload
relays are often used with hermetic motors, submersible pumps, or motors with short
locked rotor time capability. Class 30 overload relays should be used with motors driving
high inertia loads, where additional accelerating time is needed and the safe permissible

locked rotor time of the motor is within Class 30 performance requirements.

For applications requiring Class 30 protection, Type WL heater elements are available. To
order, use the applicable Type W selection table, follow the heater element selection
instructions and change the W in the Heater Type Number to WL.
For applications requiring Class 10 overload relays, Type J elements are available. See
Index to Heater Element Selection Tables for Index to Heater Element Selection Tables.
Heater Element Selection
The Full Load Amperes listed in the tables are to be used for heater element selection.
For Type J and W Heater Elements, the rating of the relay in amperes at +40 C (+104 F)
is 115% of the Full Load Amperes listed for the Heater Type Number. For Type WL
Heater Elements, the rating is 120% of the Full Load Amperes listed for the Heater Type
Number.
Refer to the motor nameplate for the full load current, the service factor, and/or the motor
classification by application and temperature rise.
Use this motor nameplate information, the application rules, and the Full Load Amperes
listed in the proper table (see Index) to determine the Heater Type Number.
The following is for motors rated for Continuous Duty:
For motors with marked service factor of not less than 1.15, or motors with a marked
temperature rise not over +40 C (+104 F), apply application rules 1 through 3.
Apply application rules 2 and 3 when the temperature difference does not exceed
+10 C (+18 F). When the temperature difference is greater, see below.
1. The Same Temperature at the Controller and the Motor Select the Heater Type
Number with the listed Full Load Amperes nearest the full load value shown on the
motor nameplate.
2. Higher Temperature at the Controller than at the Motor If the full load current
value shown on the motor nameplate is between the listed Full Load Amperes, select the
Heater Type Number with the higher value.
3. Lower Temperature at the Controller than at the Motor If the full load current
value shown on the motor nameplate is between the listed Full Load Amperes, select the
Heater Type Number with the lower value.
For motors with Marked Service Factor of less than 1.15, select the Heater Type
Number one rating smaller than determined by the rules in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.
Motors rated for Intermittent Duty Please contact your local Rockwell Automation
sales office or Allen-Bradley distributor for additional information.

Heater Element Selection Procedure When Temperature at Controller is 10 C (18 F)

Greater than Temperature at Motor
Ambient Temperature Correction
The ambient temperature at the motor and controller is the same in most applications.
Under this condition, the overload relay is designed to sense changes in ambient
temperature and also protect the motor over a range of temperatures.
Output that a motor can safely deliver varies with temperature. The motor can deliver its
full rated horsepower at an ambient temperature specified by the motor manufacturers,
normally +40 C (+104 F). At high temperatures (higher than +40 C) less than 100% of
the normal rated current can be drawn from the motor without shortening the insulation life.
At lower temperatures (less than +40 C) more than 100% of the normal rated current could
be drawn from the motor without shortening the insulation life. Thus, there is an inverse
relationship between motor ambient temperature and motor output. In any motor, allowable
output decreases as the ambient temperature is raised and vice versa.

Greater than Temperature at Motor (Continued)
Ambient Temperature Correction Curve
(See Performance Data on page Important-3)

When the temperature difference between the motor and controller does not exceed +10 C
the heater elements should be selected according to the directions given in the Heater
Element Selection, Overload Relay Class Designation.
When the temperature difference is more than +10 C an ambient temperature correction
factor should be used as part of the process for selecting heater elements. The ambient

temperature correction curve shown above shows the factor by which heater selection
rating changes with ambient temperature changes.
Heater Element Selection Procedure
In solving problems where ambient temperature correction is necessary, the following
simple procedure is recommended:
1. First find the correction factor ratio (C.F.R.). This is the ratio of correction factor of
the motor ambient temperature (C.F.m) to the correction factor for the controller ambient
temperature (C.F.c). The formula for calculating the correction factor ratio is:

Both correction factors are selected from the curve for the type of heater element to be
used. The heater element selection tables are based on a +40 C ambient temperature. This
means the correction factor for a +40 C is 1.00. In other words, there is no correction
factor at +40 C.
2. Next in this heater element selection process is to adjust the motor nameplate full load
current (FLC) by the C.F. Ratio. This readjusted value of motor nameplate full load current
(FLC) is the yardstick in selecting the proper heater element.
3. The last step is to refer to the suggested heater element table and pick the element
whose rating for the given controller size is closest to FLC.
Examples To become familiar with this heater element selection process, consider a few
examples.
Example 1. Starter at Normal +40 C Ambient Motor Lower.
3-Phase, AC, squirrel cage motor, 25 Hp, 460V, 60 Hz, 1800 rpm, FLC of 34 A, service
factor 1.15, Temperature at starter +40 C, Temperature at motor +25 C, Type W heater
elements will be used.
In Example 1, the motor is at a much cooler ambient temperature (+25 C) compared to the
controller which is at the normal +40 C. Because the motor is normally rated for use at
+40 C, it will deliver a little more than its rated horsepower. This means that a heater
element with a higher than normal motor nameplate full load current rating can be used.
Referring to the Type W ambient temperature correction curve on this page for a motor at
+25 C ambient, the motor correction factor (C.F. motor) is shown to be 108%. The
correction factor for the starter ambient temperature is 100% since it is at +40 C. Thus,

Now, using this correction factor, the readjusted full load current value can be determined
by:

A Bulletin 512, Size 2, was specified for this application. The directions for heater element
selection indicate that Table 153 should be used. The table shows that 36.7 A falls between
two values, 35.0 A (W66) and 38.0 A (W67). Because 38.0 A is closer to the requirement,
select the heater element W67.
Example 2. Starter at Normal +40 C Ambient Motor Higher. 3-Phase AC, squirrel
cage motor, 25 Hp, 460V, 60 Hz, 1800 rpm. FLC of 34 A, service factor 1.15. Type W
heater elements, Temperature at starter +40 C, Temperature at motor +55 C.
This represents a situation where the motor ambient temperature is higher than +40 C. In
this example, the motor is at +55 C ambient temperature and the controller is at +40 C.
When the motor is functioning in a warmer environment than the controller it will not be
able to deliver the normal horsepower. To protect it from damage, it becomes necessary to
downsize the heater element compared to the same motor operating in a +40 C ambient
temperature. Referring to the Type W ambient temperature correction curve, the correction
factor would be:

Having determined the correction factor, the current rating to be used when selecting a
heater element would be:

For Bulletin 512, Size 2, again refer to Table 153. The value of 30.9 A falls between 30.0 A
(W64) and 32.5 A (W66). Since 30.0 is closer to 30.9 specify the W64 heater element.
Example 3: Starter Lower than +40 C Motor Higher. 3-Phase, AC, squirrel cage
motor, 25 Hp, 460V, 60 Hz, 1800 rpm. FLC of 34 A, service factor 1.15. Type W heater
elements, Temperature at starter +25 C, Temperature at motor +55 C.
Next, consider a case where both the controller and the motor are at ambient temperatures
other than +40 C. In Example 3 the temperature of the controller is +25 C ambient
(cooler) while the temperature of the motor is +55 C ambient (warmer). As stated earlier, a
motor running in a warmer environment will deliver less than its normal horsepower. This

requires downsizing the heater element rating. The controller in this case is in a cooler
environment which prevents the heater element from heating up as much as in a +40 C
ambient temperature. This also requires downsizing the heater element rating to provide
adequate protection. Thus, the net effect of a warmer motor and a cooler controller is to
further downsize the heater element. Using the Type W temperature correction curve, the
correction factor in this case is:

The readjusted value of current FLC for this example is:

Table 153 shows that this value falls between 28.0 A (W63) and 30.0 A (W64). Because
28.0 A is closer to the requirement, select the heater element W63.
Example 4: Starter Above +40 C Motor Lower. 3-Phase, AC, squirrel cage motor, 25
Hp, 460V, 60 Hz, 1800 rpm. FLC of 34 A, service factor 1.15. Type W heater elements,
Temperature at starter +65 C, Temperature at motor +35 C.
Now, consider the effect of a controller in a warmer environment and a motor in a cooler
environment. In Example 4, the controller is at +65 C ambient (warmer) and the motor at
+35 C ambient (cooler). As mentioned earlier, a motor at a cooler temperature can deliver
more than its normal horsepower. The controller when in a warmer environment will heat
up faster causing the eutectic alloy to melt before the normal overload condition. This
requires upsizing the heater element rating. Referring to the Type W ambient temperature
correction curve (), the correction factor in this case is:

This correction factor allows a heater element with current rating of:

Referring to Table 153, this value of 41.4 A falls between 40.5 A (W68) and 43.5 A (W69).
Because 40.5 A is closer to the requirement, select heater element W68.
Example 5: Starter Above +40 C Motor Above. 3-Phase, AC, squirrel cage motor, 25
Hp, 460V, 60 Hz, 1800 rpm. FLC of 35 A, service factor 1.15. Type W heater elements,

Temperature at starter +45 C, Temperature at motor +60 C.

Next, take an example where both the controller and the motor are both warmer than +40
C ambient temperature but their ambient temperatures are different. For instance, the
controller could be at +45 C ambient and the motor is at +60 C ambient. Since the
difference in their ambient temperatures is greater than +10 C an ambient temperature
correction must be made. In Example 5 the correction factor is given by:

This means that the rating of the heater element should be 90% of the normal nameplate
motor full load current or:

For Bulletin 512, Size 2 controller, Table 153 shows this rating to fall between 30.0 A
(W64) and 32.5 A (W65). Because 32.5 A is closer, select heater element W65. Note here
that the net effect has been to downsize the heater element rating compared to a normal +40
C ambient operation.
Note: The heater element selection tables are designed to accommodate motor service
factors of 1.15 or greater, as given in all the preceding examples. If the service factor had
been less than 1.15 (for example, S.F. = 1.0) a heater element one rating smaller than
selected in each example would have been the correct choice. This would provide
protection at 10% lower current levels.

Instruction Pages:
Square D Thermal Unit Selection

The following are general instructions on how to determine the correct thermal units for
your application.
Step 1 - Determine Motor Data
Two pieces of information are needed from the motor name plate if possible. The first is
the Full Load Current or FLC. The FLC is the current being drawn by the motor when its
at 100% of its rated output. The second is the Service Factor.

The service factor is a multiplier that is applied to the motor's normal horsepower rating to
indicate an increase in power output (or overload capacity) that the motor is capable of
providing under certain conditions. Common values of service factor are 1.0, 1.15, and
1.25. Any service factor greater than 1.0 must be indicated on the motor nameplate.
If you are unable to determine the Full Load Current from the name plate an estimate can
be obtained from the horse power and voltage of the motor. Click Here to estimate the
FLC from a table.
Step 2 - Adjust the FLC based on the motor Service Factor
For service factors of 1.15 to 1.25 use the FLC as determined in Step 1. For a service
factor of 1.00 use 90% of the FLC.

Step 3 - Find Appropriate Heater Table

You will need the Class, Type and Size of the Square D controller. This can usually be
found on the Controller name plate. With that information click Here to look up the
appropriate table. Once you find the table you can click on the table number to bring up the
Heater Selection table you need.
Step 4 - Find the FLC in the Table.
Once you have located the correct table, look in the FLC column to find the range that
contains your Full Load Current calculated in Step 2. Look in the Thermal Unit Number
column to find the appropriate thermal unit for your application.
Example:
Assume you have a 5 horsepower 3 phase motor running at 460 Volts controlled by a Class
8536 Type SB controller in its own enclosure. Ideally you would find the FLC and Service
Factor from the motor name plate. However, if the FLC and service factor can not be found
on the motor name plate, the Horsepower/Voltage table can be used to find the typical FLC
for this horsepower and voltage which is 6.68. Assuming a service factor of between 1.15
and 1.25 you look in the Master Index Table to find a 8536 Type SB controller which
shows you you need to look in table 13. In table 13, you find a FLC range of 6.687.54 for
3 phase motors which includes the 6.68 you are looking for. The appropriate thermal unit
can them be determined as B11.5. Clicking on the part number will show you the price and
availability.
Note: These instructions do not include special situations such as when the motor and
controller are located in different temperature environments. If you need further assistance
