Eaton ZB12-6 Relé térmico de sobrecarga, 4-6 A, 3 polos, clase 10A, montaje directo 278439

With a current setting range of 4 to 6 A and a 3-pole design, the Eaton ZB12-6 thermal overload relay provides reliable motor protection in a compact form factor. Its Class 10A trip characteristic ensures fast response to overload conditions, while phase failure sensitivity adds an extra layer of safety for three-phase motors.

Overview

The ZB12-6 is designed for direct mounting onto compatible Eaton contactors, simplifying installation and reducing wiring complexity. It features both manual and automatic reset functions, allowing flexibility in how the relay responds after a trip event. A trip indication flag provides clear visual status, and the unit includes one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) auxiliary contact for control circuit integration.
