Schneider EasyPact TVS Thermal Overload Relay LRE10

Schneider EasyPact TVS Thermal Overload Relay LRE10 — Compact 4–6 A Motor Protection

The Schneider EasyPact TVS Thermal Overload Relay LRE10 is a precision-engineered three-phase motor protection device from Schneider Electric’s trusted EasyPact TVS series. Designed to guard small three-phase motors against prolonged overload, phase loss, and unbalanced load conditions, this thermal overload relay ensures reliable performance and enhanced safety in industrial, commercial, and electrical control systems across India.

🔌 What Is the LRE10 Thermal Overload Relay?

The LRE10 is a three-pole differential thermal overload relay with an adjustable thermal protection range of 4 – 6 A, making it ideal for safeguarding smaller motors and equipment. It continuously monitors the current flowing through all three phases and disconnects the motor circuit when sustained overload or abnormal phase conditions are detected, preventing overheating and potential motor damage. Built to meet IEC 60947-4-1 Class 10A tripping standards, the LRE10 balances tolerance for normal start-up inrush currents with dependable overload response.

Designed for compact motor starter assemblies, this relay supports direct mounting with compatible EasyPact TVS contactors (e.g., LC1E06–LC1E38), reducing wiring complexity and saving panel space.

🛠️ Key Features & Benefits
