Schneider EasyPact TVS Thermal Overload Relay LRE14

Schneider EasyPact TVS Thermal Overload Relay LRE14 — Compact 7–10 A Motor Protection

The Schneider EasyPact TVS Thermal Overload Relay LRE14 is a reliable protection device engineered to safeguard three-phase motors from prolonged overload, phase loss, and unbalanced current conditions in industrial and commercial electrical systems. As part of Schneider Electric’s EasyPact TVS range, this differential thermal overload relay offers accurate motor protection with adjustable current settings, making it a practical choice for motor starter panels, control cabinets, and machinery installations across India.

🔌 What Is the LRE14 Thermal Overload Relay?

The LRE14 is a three-pole differential thermal overload relay with an adjustable thermal protection range of 7 – 10 A, designed to continuously monitor current through all three phases of a motor circuit and disconnect the supply when sustained overloads or abnormal phase conditions occur. Built to comply with IEC 60947-4-1 Class 10A tripping standards, the relay balances tolerance for normal motor inrush currents with dependable overload response — protecting motors from overheating and electrical stress.

This relay is compatible with and can be directly mounted under EasyPact TVS contactors, simplifying panel layouts and reducing wiring complexity for compact motor starter assemblies.

🛠️ Key Features & Benefits
