TA25DU – TA110DU

TA25DU TA42DU TA75DU TA80DU TA110DU

TA-DU and T-DU thermal O/L relays are 3 pole with manual or automatic resetting mode selection. The reset button can also be used for
stopping.
Built in auxiliary contacts are physically separate and, consequently, can be used in different circuits (control circuit/indication circuit).
Each relay is temperature compensated and ensures phase failure protection.
Protective relays up to size TA75DU are protected against direct contact from the front face.
The connecting terminals are delivered in open position with (+,-) posidrive screws and screwdriver guidance. It is advisable to tighten unused
terminal screws.
