Overload relays are available with either INC or INO-INC relay contacts CHECK FOR WELDED CONTACTS IN OVERLOAD RELAY This feature permits. the maintenance rman to chest for welded relay contacts by simply depressing the brown operator located at the top of the overboad relay contact housing. When the relay is in the Feset condition, an audible “click” wil be heard when the operator is depressed, in- dleating that the contacts are. operaiing normally.
