Schneider Electric 9065-TR2.8 Thermal Overload Relay

Schneider Electric 9065-TR2.8 Thermal Overload Relay is a Class 9065 motor protection device rated for 2.8 to 4.5 A, designed to guard AC motors from overheating by sensing excessive current in the motor control circuit and triggering a protective response to prevent damage. This model is part of Schneider Electric's 9065 Thermal Overload Relay family, commonly used in motor control panels and with standard contactors to provide robust thermal protection for motors in industrial equipment. The 2.8–4.5 A range places it at the lower end of the 9065 lineup, making it suitable for small- to mid-sized motors in applications such as conveyors, pumps, fans, and general machinery where reliable overload protection is essential. Schneider Electric's 9065 series emphasizes a straightforward, single-piece protection solution that integrates with the broader motor-control ecosystem, helping to coordinate protection across control circuits and reduce unplanned downtime. In practice, this TR2.8 variant delivers the essential protection function for light- to moderate-load motor applications, aligning with standard industrial practices for safeguarding motors and their drivers against sustained overload conditions.
