Description
The Schneider Electric TeSys LRD series are bimetal thermal overload relays (OLR) designed for snap-on mounting to TeSys D (LC1D) contactors, providing motor overload, phase-loss, and prolonged overcurrent protection. Listed models — LRD08C (2.5–4A), LRD10C (4–6A), LRD12C (5.5–8A), LRD14C (7–10A), LRD32C (23–32A), LRD33C (30–38A / 38–50A depending sub-type), LRD53C (larger frame 50–65A for LC1D80…D170) — cover low to high current ranges for motors from ~1 kW up to ~30 kW (400V AC-3). Each unit features an adjustable dial, manual/auto reset, test button, trip flag, and 1NO+1NC auxiliary contacts.
Key Features
- Snap-On Mount: Directly clips onto front of LC1D contactors — no wiring between contactor & OLR.
- Adjustable Trip: Dial set to motor FLA (Full Load Ampere).
- Trip Class: Class 10A (2–10 sec at 10×In per IEC 60947-4-1).
- Auxiliary Contacts: 1 NC (95-96 — breaks coil on trip) + 1 NO (97-98 — alarm/PLC).
- Phase Failure Protection: Detects loss of one phase.
- Ambient Compensation: -20 °C to +60 °C.
- Country of Origin: France / Morocco / China (Schneider Global)
Model & Setting Range Table
Model | Fits Contactor (LC1D) | Current Range (A) | Typical Motor (400V AC-3) |
|---|---|---|---|
LRD08C | D09…D18 | 2.5 – 4.0 A | ~1.1 kW |
LRD10C | D09…D25 | 4.0 – 6.0 A | ~1.5–2.2 kW |
LRD12C | D09…D25 | 5.5 – 8.0 A | ~2.2–3 kW |
LRD14C | D09…D32 | 7.0 – 10.0 A | ~3–4 kW |
LRD32C | D32…D65 | 23.0 – 32.0 A | ~11–15 kW |
LRD33C | D50…D95 | 30.0 – 38.0 A (some ver. 38–50A) | ~15–22 kW |
LRD53C | D80…D170 (large frame) | 50 – 65 A (check sub-suffix) | ~22–30 kW |
⚠️ Selection Rules:
Match OLR frame to contactor (LRD08–LRD33 → LC1D09…D95; LRD53 → LC1D80…D170). Set dial to Motor FLA — NOT contactor rating! Star-Delta starters need 2 OLRs: Main = FLA; Delta-run = FLA ÷ √3. “C” suffix = screw terminals on auxiliary circuit.
