Overview

The ABB TF65-33 (SKU: TF65-33) is an economical electromechanical thermal overload relay providing essential main circuit protection for motors. Designed to meet IEC/EN 60947-4-1 standards, it offers reliable protection against overloads and phase failures with a Trip Class 10 rating. Its phase loss sensitivity ensures critical protection for motor windings by detecting unbalanced loads. The device operates reliably across a broad ambient temperature range of -40°C to +70°C due to integrated temperature compensation, valid for units produced from week 11, 2016 (earlier units operate from -25°C to +60°C). Operational flexibility is enhanced with selectable automatic or manual reset modes. Safety is paramount with a trip-free mechanism that prevents contact welding during fault conditions. The TF65-33 includes dual auxiliary contacts: a normally closed (NC) trip contact for immediate circuit interruption and a normally open (NO) signal contact for remote monitoring or alarm systems. A dedicated STOP function allows for manual emergency shutdown without initiating a reset sequence, and a clear trip indication on the front panel provides immediate visual status feedback. Installation is versatile, allowing direct mounting onto ABB block contactors or via an optional single mounting kit for standard 35mm DIN rails. Main circuit terminals accommodate rigid conductors from 2.5 to 35mm² and flexible conductors up to 35mm². Stranded conductors up to AWG 2 per UL/CSA are supported. Auxiliary circuit terminals accept rigid and flexible conductors from 0.75 to 4mm². Built for durability, the TF65-33 features mechanical robustness with 25g shock resistance (11ms) and 5g vibration tolerance (3-150Hz) per IEC 60068 standards. It protects motors within a current range of 22A to 67A and is suitable for operation at altitudes up to 2000m. The housing offers IP20 protection, with main circuit terminals rated IP10.
  • Economical electromechanical thermal overload relay for main circuit motor protection.
