Thermal overload relays
TI 16C, TI 25C, TI 30C for
contactors CI 6 – CI 30
Thermal overload relays TI 16C, TI 25C and
TI 30C are used with contactors CI 6 – CI 30 to give
protection of squirrel-cage motors of 0.09 kW to
15 kW.
The relays have single-phase protection, i.e.
accelerated release if phase drop-out occurs.
This is particularly important for motors with
delta-connected windings.
Other features of TI 16C / 25C / 30C:
• stop/reset button
• manual/automatic reset
• test button
• double scale for direct start or Y/D start
• galvanically isolated signal contact

) To IEC 947-4 coordination types 1 and 2:
Coordination type 1: Any type of damage to the motor starter is permissible. If the motor starter is in an enclosure, no external
damage to the enclosure is permissible. After a short-circuit the thermal overload relay shall be partially or
wholly replaced.
Coordination type 2: No damage to the motor starter is permissible, but slight contact burning and welding is permissible.
2
) In accordance with HRC form II, TI 16C, TI 25C and TI 30C are suitable for operation in Canada and the USA.
The selection of a thermal overload relay must
be based on the motor full load current and the
method of starting:
- With direct start the range for motor starter is
used.
- With star-delta start the range for Y/D starter is
used.
Example:
Full load current: 16 A
- With direct start, the suitable motor starter
range is 11 – 16 A, i.e. thermal overload relay
047H0212.
- With star-delta start, the suitable Y/D starter
range is 10 – 16 A, i.e. thermal overload relay
047H0210.
The range 13 – 20.8 A could also be used, but
thermal overload relay 047H0211 will not
release as quickly if one phase drops out.

Function description
ON delay
When voltage is applied to terminals 17 and A2,
the set time interval begins. When the set time
elapses, terminal 18 is powered and the contactor
is energised. When voltage to the Clip-on timer is
disconnected, the contactor drops out.
Set time
Supply on and triac made
OFF delay
Voltage is applied to terminals A1 and A2.
When terminal 15 receives voltage, terminal 16
is powered and the contactor is energised.
When terminal 15 is disconnected, the time
interval begins.
When the time interval elapses, the contactor is
de-energised.
If voltage to A1 – A2 is cut o, the contactor
drops out.
